* the priests.
The priests and Levites cleansed first the courts both of the
priests and of the people. On this labour they spent eight
days. Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but, as
the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests
carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they
were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the
brook Kidron: in this work, eight more days were occupied;
and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.
