2 Chronicles 29:34

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Summary

But the priests were too few, 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.

Bible References

Their brethren

And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.

And after that shall the Levites go in to perform the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.

And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.

For the levites

For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people assembled themselves at Jerusalem.

Upright

I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, who are present here, to offer willingly to thee.

My defense is from God, who saveth the upright in heart.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I compass thy altar, O LORD:

But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
