So he sent and took the bones from the burial places and burned+ them upon the altar, that he might make it unfit for worship, according to Jehovah’s* word+ that the man of the [true] God had proclaimed,+ who proclaimed these things.

5 And the bones+ of priests he burned upon their altars.+ Thus he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
