TSK · 2 Chronicles 5:11

The LORD said to Moses,“Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and make them wash their clothes

The priests and Levites consecrated themselves so they could bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.

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! Remove from the sanctuary what is ceremonially unclean!

But there were not enough priests to skin all the animals, so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was finished and the priests could consecrate themselves.(The Levites had been more conscientious about consecrating themselves than the priests.)

Because many in the assembly had not consecrated themselves, the Levites slaughtered the Passover lambs of all who were ceremonially unclean and could not consecrate their sacrifice to the LORD.

Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to celebrate according to the LORD’s message which came through Moses.”
