unto them,

sanctify
now yourselves, and
sanctify
the
house

LORD
God
of your

forth
the
filthiness
out of the
holy
place.
strkjv@2Chronicles:29:6
@ For our

have
trespassed

done
that which was
evil
in the
eyes

LORD

forsaken
him, and have turned
away
their

habitation

turned
their
backs

up

bring
sacrifices

offerings

congregation
brought
in
sacrifices

free
heart
burnt
offerings

strkjv@2Chronicles:29:32
@ And the
number

sheep

strkjv@2Chronicles:29:34
@ But the
priests
were too
few
m@, so that they
could
not
flay
all the burnt
offerings
: wherefore their
brethren
the
Levites
did
help
them, till the
work
was
ended
, and until the other
priests
had
sanctified
themselves: for the
Levites
were more
upright
in
heart
to
sanctify
themselves than the
priests

@ And also the burnt
offerings
were in
abundance

offerings

offerings
for every burnt

service
