Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
However, since there were not enough priests to skin all the burnt offerings, their Levite brothers helped them until the work was finished and until the priests had been consecrated. For the Levites had been more diligent in consecrating themselves than the priests had been.
World English Bible (WEB)
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: therefore their brothers the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
Strong's King James
But the priests{H3548} were too few{H4592}, so that they could{H3201}{(H8804)} not flay{H6584}{(H8687)} all the burnt offerings{H5930}: wherefore their brethren{H251} the Levites{H3881} did help{H2388}{(H8762)} them, till the work{H4399} was ended{H3615}{(H8800)}, and until the other priests{H3548} had sanctified{H6942}{(H8691)} themselves: for the Levites{H3881} were more upright{H3477} in heart{H3824} to sanctify{H6942}{(H8692)} themselves than the priests{H3548}.

Young's Literal Translation
Only, the priests have become few, and have not been able to strip the whole of the burnt-offerings, and their brethren the Levites strengthen them till the completion of the work, and till the priests sanctify themselves, for the Levites are more upright of heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
