| 34. Formal Translation Only the priests were too few, and they were not able to skin all the burnt offerings; so their brothers, the Levites, strengthened them until the work was finished, and until the priests had sanctified themselves, because the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. |
| 34. Dynamic Translation The priests were too few to skin all the burnt offerings, so the Levites supported them until the work was completed, and until the priests had consecrated themselves, because the Levites were more sincere in setting themselves apart than the priests. |
