Talmud zu Divrej Hajamim II 29:17
וַ֠יָּחֵלּוּ בְּאֶחָ֞ד לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן֮ לְקַדֵּשׁ֒ וּבְי֧וֹם שְׁמוֹנָ֣ה לַחֹ֗דֶשׁ בָּ֚אוּ לְאוּלָ֣ם יְהוָ֔ה וַיְקַדְּשׁ֥וּ אֶת־בֵּית־יְהוָ֖ה לְיָמִ֣ים שְׁמוֹנָ֑ה וּבְי֨וֹם שִׁשָּׁ֥ה עָשָׂ֛ר לַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן כִּלּֽוּ׃ (ס)
Nun begannen sie am ersten Tag des ersten Monats zu heiligen, und am achten Tag des Monats kamen sie zur Veranda des Herrn; und sie heiligten das Haus des HERRN in acht Tagen; und am sechzehnten Tag des ersten Monats machten sie ein Ende.
Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim
It is written192Chr. 29:17. They finished cleansing the Temple of idolatry on the 16th.: They started on the first of the first month, and on the eighth day …. Could they not have eliminated all idolatry from there in one day? Rebbi Idi said, because of Chaldean idols which were engraved in vermilion. It is written202Chr.30:19. The verse ends: except for the Temple’s purity.: With all his heart he prepared himself to seek the Eternal, the God of his forefathers. Rebbi Simon bar Zavdi and Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman: One said, with all he did for the purity of the Temple, he did not fully establish the purity of the Temple. One said, with all the good works he did, he did not fully do his duty for the purity of the Temple.
