“And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand, and seuen hundred and threescore, very able men for the worke of the seruice of the house of God.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
9:13 Able men - Heb. mighty men of valour: which is here noted asan excellent qualification for their place; because the priests might meetwith great opposition in the discharge of their office, in the executionof the censures upon all impure persons without exception, and in preservingsacred things from violation by the touch of forbidden hands.
