“It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.””

“So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.”

“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.”

“For the king and his officials and the whole assembly in Jerusalem had decided to keep the Passover in the second month,”

“Since there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves, the Levites were in charge of slaughtering the Passover lambs for every unclean person to consecrate the lambs to the LORD.”

“Jesus replied, “Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?”

“He entered the house of God, and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for them to eat, but only for the priests.”
