Nehemiah 12:30Catholic Public Domain VersionAnd the priests and the Levites were cleansed, and they cleansed the people, and the gates, and the wall. See the chapter |
Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.
