5:11 The priests left the holy place. 1 All the priests who participated had consecrated themselves, no matter which division they represented. 2 5:12 All the Levites who were musicians, including Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and relatives, wore linen. They played cymbals and stringed instruments as they stood east of the altar. They were accompanied by 120 priests who blew trumpets.
1 tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.
2 tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”
