v. 34: There were not enough priests for the service, because many had become unclean from idol worship and had not prepared themselves . The Levites were more eager and ready to serve, so they helped the priests with the sacrifices. This was not the usual way, but it was allowed because there was so much to do. The Levites’ faithfulness was honored, while the priests’ laziness was a shame (Leviticus 1:5-6 ^a).
