1 Chronicles 23:13

Sanctify — That he might keep them from pollution: for these most holy things were polluted when they were touched by any other person. He and his — Not only his eldest sons the high — priests successively, but all his posterity or all the priests; for the works here following were not peculiar to the high — priest, but common to all the priests.
