2 Chronicles 29:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ When the priests went into the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord to ·purify [cleanse] it, they took out all the ·unclean [defiled; ^Critually] things they found in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and put them in the ·Temple [^Lhouse] courtyard. Then the Levites took these things out to the Kidron Valley. ¹⁷ Beginning on the first day of the first month, they ·made holy [consecrated; purified; sanctified] the ·Temple [^Lhouse]. On the eighth day of the month, they came to the ·porch [portico; vestibule; entry room] of the ·Temple [^Lhouse], and for eight more days they ·made holy [consecrated; purified; sanctified] the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord. So they finished on the sixteenth day of the first month.

¹⁸ Then they went to King Hezekiah and said, “We have ·purified [cleansed] the entire ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord, the altar for burnt offerings and its ·utensils [equipment], and the table for the ·holy bread [^Tshowbread] and all its ·utensils [equipment].
