2 Chronicles 29:34

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 [other] priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites [were] more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

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 other 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}.

Only there weren't enough cohanim to skin and butcher all the burnt offerings, so their colleagues the L'vi'im assisted them until the work was finished and the cohanim had consecrated themselves (for the L'vi'im had been more diligent to consecrate themselves than the cohanim).

However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.

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.
