29:5 He said to them: “Listen to me, you Levites! Now consecrate yourselves, so you can consecrate the temple of the Lord God of your ancestors! 1 Remove from the sanctuary what is ceremonially unclean!
29:6 For our fathers were unfaithful; they did what is evil in the sight of 2 the Lord our God and abandoned him! They turned 3 away from the Lord’s dwelling place and rejected him. 4
