* 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.
