But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was completed and until the other priests had set themselves apart as holy. For the Levites were more upright of heart to set themselves apart as holy than the priests.

And they slaughtered the Passover animals, and while the priests splashed the blood received from their hand, the Levites skinned them.
