17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
17 Basi wakaanza kutakasa siku ya kwanza ya mwezi wa kwanza, hata siku ya nane ya mwezi wakafika katika ukumbi wa Bwana; wakaitakasa nyumba ya Bwana katika muda wa siku nane; wakamaliza siku ya kumi na sita ya mwezi wa kwanza.
