2 Chronicles 29:5 In-Context

3 In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of the LORD, and repaired them.
4 He brought in the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the square on the east,
5 and said to them, "Hear me, Levites! Now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry out the filth from the holy place.
6 For our fathers have been unfaithful and have done what was evil in the sight of the LORD our God; they have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
7 They also shut the doors of the vestibule and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
