Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified.

‏ 2 Chronicles 29:34

34 Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests. ^{▼▼29:34The word ‘antistites’ refers to those who are of higher rank within a religion; in this context, the word refers to the priests, as opposed to the Levites. The priests were sanctified by a more complex ritual than the Levites, since their rank was higher.(Conte)}
