1 Chronicles 15:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³ The first time we tried to bring it, we failed to ask the Lord about the right way to move it. And he punished us because you Levites did not carry it.”

¹⁴ Then the priests and Levites made themselves holy so that they could carry the Holy Box of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¹⁵ The Levites used the special poles to carry God’s Holy Box on their shoulders, the way Moses commanded. They carried the Holy Box just as the Lord had said.
