2 Chronicles 13:9 meaning and explanation
But did you not drive out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites? And did you not make priests for yourselves as do the peoples of other lands? Now whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams can become a priest of things that are not gods.
2 Chronicles 13:9, Berean Standard Bible
