Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
29:12-36 To begin the process of sanctifying the Temple, these Levites began with their own sanctification. First, they all purified themselves, probably by bringing offerings (cp. 30:15); then they began to cleanse the Temple. Two separate acts were required to restore the Temple: purification (the removal of pollution, 29:15-17) and sanctification (the rededication of the Temple for holy worship, 29:20-36). 29:12 Kohath . . . Merari . . . Gershon were the three sons of Levi; their descendants had become the three main clans of the tribe of Levites (see Exod 6:16).
