2 Chronicles 29:4 In-Context

2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.

3 In the first year of his kingship, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of Yahweh and strengthened them.

4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and he gathered them into the eastern square.

5 And he said to them, "Hear me, O Levites! Sanctify yourselves now, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, and bring out the defilement from the sanctuary.

6 For our ancestors acted unfaithfully and did evil in the sight of Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the dwelling place of Yahweh. {They have turned their backs} [on it].
