2 Chronicles 29:34-36
Holman Christian Standard Bible
34 However, since there were not enough priests, they weren’t able to skin all the burnt offerings, so their Levite brothers helped them(A) until the work was finished and until the priests consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious[a](B) to consecrate themselves than the priests were.(C) 35 Furthermore, the burnt offerings were abundant, along with the fat of the fellowship offerings(D) and with the drink offerings(E) for the burnt offering.
So the service of the Lord’s temple was established. 36 Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over how God had prepared the people, for it had come about suddenly.

2 Chronicles 29:34-36
New International Version
34 The priests, however, were too few to skin all the burnt offerings;(A) so their relatives the Levites helped them until the task was finished and until other priests had been consecrated,(B) for the Levites had been more conscientious in consecrating themselves than the priests had been. 35 There were burnt offerings in abundance, together with the fat(C) of the fellowship offerings(D) and the drink offerings(E) that accompanied the burnt offerings.
So the service of the temple of the Lord was reestablished. 36 Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had brought about for his people, because it was done so quickly.(F)
