祭司甚寡、剝燔祭之皮、弗遑暇及、其同儔利未人助之、迨他祭司自潔以竣厥事、蓋利未人黽勉以潔己、較諸祭司、其誠過之。

The priests, however, were too few to skin all the burnt offerings; so their relatives the Levites helped them until the task was finished and until other priests had been consecrated, for the Levites had been more conscientious in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.

But there weren’t enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings. So their relatives, the Levites, helped them. They worked until the task was finished. By that time other priests had been set apart to the Lord. The Levites had been more careful than the priests when they set themselves apart.

But the priests were too few and could not flay all the burnt offerings, so until other priests had consecrated themselves, their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was finished— for the Levites were more upright in heart than the priests in consecrating themselves.

But there were too few priests to prepare all the burnt offerings. So their relatives the Levites helped them until the work was finished and more priests had been purified, for the Levites had been more conscientious about purifying themselves than the priests had been.

However, since there were not enough priests, they weren’t able to skin all the burnt offerings, so their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests were.

But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was finished and the other priests had consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them until the work was ended and until the other priests had sanctified themselves, for the Levites were more diligent in sanctifying themselves than the priests.

But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt- offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

利未人宰了逾越節的羊羔，祭司從他們的手裡把血接過來，灑在壇上，利未人剝了祭牲的皮，

（但他們不能如期守逾越節，因為自潔的祭司不夠，人民也沒有齊集在耶路撒冷。）

我已經把你們的親族利未人，從以色列人中揀選出來，給你們作禮物獻與耶和華，為要辦理會幕的事。你和你的兒子，要與你一同守你們祭司的職分，辦理一切屬祭壇和幔子內的事；你們要這樣供職。我把祭司的職分賜給你們作服事我的賞賜；外人若是近前來，必被處死。”

神是我的盾牌，他拯救心裡正直的人。

以後，利未人可以進去辦理會幕的事；你要潔淨他們，把他們作搖祭獻上。

他們要守你所吩咐的，和會幕裡的一切事，只是不可走近聖所的器具和祭壇，免得他們和你們都死亡。

因為審判必再轉向公義，所有心裡正直的都必順從。

對他們說：“利未人哪，你們要聽我的話；現在你們要自潔，又要潔淨耶和華你們列祖的神的殿，把污穢之物從聖所中除去。

我從以色列人中，把利未人賜給亞倫和他的眾子，在會幕裡辦理以色列人的事務，又為以色列人贖罪，免得他們走近聖所的時候，就有災禍臨到他們。”

耶和華啊！我要洗手表明無辜，才來繞著你的祭壇行走；

我的神啊，我知道你察驗人心，喜悅正直；至於我，我以正直的心甘願奉獻這一切；現在我也非常歡喜看見你在這裡的人民，都甘願奉獻給你。

他們遵照神人摩西的律法，按著定例，站在自己的崗位上。祭司從利未人手裡把血接過來，灑在祭壇上。因為會眾中有很多人還沒有自潔，所以利未人必須為所有不潔的人宰殺逾越節的羊羔，使他們在耶和華面前成為聖潔。
