12. and said unto them, Ye are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have prepared for it.

13. For because ye bare it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not according to the ordinance.
