II Chronicles 29:16 And the priests went into the temple of the Lord to sanctify it, and brought out all the uncleanness, that they found within, to the entrance of the house of the Lord, and the Levites took it away, and carried it out abroad, to the torrent Cedron.

Cedron, as Josias did with the idolatrous altars, 4 Kings 23:12. The priests brought what was unclean from the inner temple into the porch. (Haydock) --- This labour lasted eight days, as the cleansing of the porches had done. (Calmet) (Du Hamel)
