Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the priests: The priests and Levites cleansed first the courts both of the priests and of the people. On this labour they spent eight days. Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but, as the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the brook Kidron: in this work, eight more days were occupied; and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.

the inner part: 2 Chronicles 3:8, 2 Chronicles 5:7, Exodus 26:33, Exodus 26:34, 1 Kings 6:19, 1 Kings 6:20, Hebrews 9:2-8, Hebrews 9:23, Hebrews 9:24

all the uncleanness: Ezekiel 36:29, Matthew 21:12, Matthew 21:13, Matthew 23:27

Kidron: 2 Chronicles 15:16, 2 Kings 23:4-6, John 18:1, Cedron

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 2:37 - over the 2 Chronicles 29:5 - sanctify the house 2 Chronicles 30:14 - the brook

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it,.... Into the holy place, where the candlesticks and shewbread tables stood, into which none but priests might enter, but not into the most holy place, the innermost of all; for none but the high priest might go into that, and only on the day of atonement; though in case of necessity, as for repairs, others might go into it, and so perhaps now to cleanse it, if any pollution was there:

and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord; into the court of the priests, where the Levites might be, and were:

and the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron; which ran through the valley of the son of Hinnom, into which all unclean things, and the filth of the temple and sacrifices, were usually carried and cast, see 2 Kings 18:12.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The “inner part†means here, not the holy of holies in particular, but the interior generally. The priests alone might enter the temple building. The Levites might penetrate no further than the inner court.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 29:16. And the priests went — The priests and Levites cleansed first the courts both of the priests and of the people. On this labour they spent eight days. Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but as the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the brook Kidron; in this work eight days more were occupied, and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.
