Verse 34

But the priests{H3548} were too few,{H4592} so that they could{H3201} not flay{H6584} all the burnt-offerings:{H5930} wherefore their brethren{H251} the Levites{H3881} did help{H2388} them, till the work{H4399} was ended,{H3615} and until the priests{H3548} had sanctified{H6942} themselves; for the Levites{H3881} were more upright{H3477} in heart{H3824} to sanctify{H6942} themselves than the priests.{H3548}
