[1]And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971[H8799] to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789[H8804] lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935[H8800] to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213[H8800] the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. |
[No book] |
[2]For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289[H8735], and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213[H8800] the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320. |
[No book] |
[3]For they couldH3201[H8804] not keepH6213[H8800] it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942[H8694] themselves sufficientlyH4078[H8676][H1767], neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622[H8738] to JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[4]And the thingH1697 pleasedH3474[H8799][H5869] the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951. |
[No book] |
[5]So they establishedH5975[H8686] a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH5674[H8687][H6963] throughout all IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935[H8800] to keepH6213[H8800] the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213[H8804] it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.[H8803] |
[No book] |
[6]So the postsH7323[H8801] wentH3212[H8799] with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725[H8798] unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725[H8799] to the remnantH7604[H8737] of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. |

[7]And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603[H8804] against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414[H8799] to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.[H8802] |
[No book] |
[8]Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185[H8686][H6203], as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414[H8798] yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935[H8798] into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942[H8689] for everH5769: and serveH5647[H8798] the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from youH8799. |
[No book] |
[9]For if ye turn againH7725[H8800] unto the LORDH3068, your brethrenH251 and your childrenH1121 shall find compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them that lead them captiveH7617[H8802], so that they shall come againH7725[H8800] into this landH776: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, and will not turn awayH5493[H8686] his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto himH8799. |
[No book] |
[10]So the postsH7323[H8801] passedH5674[H8802] from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832[H8688], and mockedH3932 themH8688. |
[No book] |
[11]Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665[H8738] themselves, and cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[12]Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414[H8800] them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213[H8800] the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[13]And there assembledH622[H8735] at JerusalemH3389 muchH7227 peopleH5971 to keepH6213[H8800] the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 in the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 congregationH6951. |
[No book] |
[14]And they aroseH6965[H8799] and took awayH5493[H8686] the altarsH4196 that were in JerusalemH3389, and all the altars for incenseH6999 took they awayH5493[H8689], and castH7993[H8686] them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939. |
[No book] |
[15]Then they killedH7819[H8799] the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702[H6240] day of the secondH8145 monthH2320: and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were ashamedH3637[H8738], and sanctifiedH6942[H8691] themselves, and brought inH935[H8686] the burnt offeringsH5930 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[16]And they stoodH5975[H8799] in their placeH5977 after their mannerH4941, according to the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430: the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236[H8802] the bloodH1818, which they received of the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881. |
[No book] |
[17]For there were manyH7227 in the congregationH6951 that were not sanctifiedH6942[H8694]: therefore the LevitesH3881 had the charge of the killingH7821 of the passoversH6453 for every one that was not cleanH2889, to sanctifyH6942[H8687] them unto the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[18]For a multitudeH4768 of the peopleH5971, even manyH7227 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074, had notH3808 cleansedH2891[H8694] themselves, yet did they eatH398[H8804] the passoverH6453 otherwise than it was writtenH3789[H8803]. But HezekiahH3169 prayedH6419[H8694] for them, sayingH559[H8800], The goodH2896 LORDH3068 pardonH3722 every onH8762e |
[No book] |
[19]That preparethH3559[H8689] his heartH3824 to seekH1875[H8800] GodH430, the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944. |
[No book] |
[20]And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085[H8799] to HezekiahH3169, and healedH7495[H8799] the peopleH5971. |
[No book] |
[21]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672[H8737] at JerusalemH3389 keptH6213[H8799] the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057: and the LevitesH3881 and the priestsH3548 praisedH1984[H8764] the LORDH3068 dayH3117 by dayH3117, singing with loudH5797 instrumentsH3627 unto the LORDH3068. |
[No book] |
[22]And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696[H8762] comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919[H8688] the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398[H8799] throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076[H8764] peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034[H8693] to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. |
[No book] |
[23]And the whole assemblyH6951 took counselH3289[H8735] to keepH6213[H8800] otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117: and they keptH6213[H8799] other sevenH7651 daysH3117 with gladnessH8057. |
[No book] |
[24]For HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did giveH7311[H8689] to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629; and the princesH8269 gaveH7311[H8689] to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and tenH6235 thousandH505 sheepH6629: and a great numberH7230 of priestsH3548 sanctifiedH6942 themselvesH8691. |
[No book] |
[25]And all the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all the congregationH6951 that came outH935[H8802] of IsraelH3478, and the strangersH1616 that came outH935[H8802] of the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and that dweltH3427[H8802] in JudahH3063, rejoicedH8055.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[26]So there was greatH1419 joyH8057 in JerusalemH3389: for since the timeH3117 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 there was not the like in JerusalemH3389. |
[No book] |
[27]Then the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965[H8799] and blessedH1288[H8762] the peopleH5971: and their voiceH6963 was heardH8085[H8735], and their prayerH8605 cameH935[H8799] up to his holyH6944 dwelling placeH4583, even unto heavenH8064. |
