30HEZEKIAH SENT to all Israel [as well as] Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh to come to the Lord's house at Jerusalem to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.H3169H7971H3478H3063H3789H107H669H4519H935H1004H3068H3389H6213H6453H3068H430H3478 2For the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem took counsel to keep the Passover in the second month.H4428H3289H8269H6951H3389H6213H6453H8145H2320 3For they could not keep it at the set time because not enough priests had sanctified themselves, neither had the people assembled in Jerusalem.H3201H6213H6256H3548H6942H4078H1767H5971H622H3389 4The new time pleased the king and all the assembly.H1697H3474H5869H4428H6951 5So they decreed to make a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For they had not kept it collectively as prescribed for a long time.H5975H1697H5674H6963H3478H884H1835H935H6213H6453H3068H430H3478H3389H6213H7230H3789 6So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, as the king commanded, saying, O Israelites, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to those left of you who escaped out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.H7323H3212H107H3027H4428H8269H3478H3063H4687H4428H559H1121H3478H7725H3068H430H85H3327H3478H7725H7604H6413H3709H4428H804 7Do not be like your fathers and brethren, who were unfaithful to the Lord, the God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation [to be an astonishment], as you see.H1H251H4603H3068H430H1H5414H8047H7200 8Now be not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the Lord and come to His sanctuary, which He has sanctified forever, and serve the Lord your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.H7185H6203H1H5414H3027H3068H935H4720H6942H5769H5647H3068H430H2740H639H7725 9For if you return to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall find compassion with their captors and return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and He will not turn away His face from you if you return to Him.H7725H3068H251H1121H7356H6440H7617H7725H776H3068H430H2587H7349H5493H6440H7725 10So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but the people laughed them to scorn and mocked them.H7323H5674H5892H5892H776H669H4519H2074H7832H3932 11Yet, a few of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.H582H836H4519H2074H3665H935H3389 12Also the hand of God came upon Judah to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.H3063H3027H430H5414H259H3820H6213H4687H4428H8269H1697H3068 13And many people came to Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month, a very great assembly.H622H3389H7227H5971H6213H2282H4682H8145H2320H3966H7230H6951 14They rose up and took away the altars [to idols] that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars {and} utensils for incense [to the gods] they took away and threw into the Kidron Valley [dumping place for the ashes of such abominations].H6965H5493H4196H3389H6999H5493H7993H5158H6939 15Then they killed the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. And the priests and the Levites were ashamed and sanctified themselves and brought burnt offerings to the Lord's house.H7819H6453H702H6240H8145H2320H3548H3881H3637H6942H935H5930H1004H3068 16They stood in their accustomed places, as directed in the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests threw [against the altar] the blood they received from the hand of the Levites.H5975H5977H4941H8451H4872H376H430H3548H2236H1818H3027H3881 17For many were in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves [become clean and free from all sin]. So the Levites had to kill the Passover lambs for all who were not clean, in order to make them holy to the Lord.H7227H6951H6942H3881H7821H6453H2889H6942H3068 18For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than Moses directed. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, May the good Lord pardon everyoneH4768H5971H7227H669H4519H3485H2074H3808H2891H398H6453H3789H3169H6419H559H2896H3068H3722 19Who sets his heart to seek {and} yearn for God--the Lord, the God of his fathers--even though not complying with the purification regulations of the sanctuary.H3559H3824H1875H430H3068H430H1H2893H6944 20And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah and healed the people.H3068H8085H3169H7495H5971 21And the Israelites who were in Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and priests praised the Lord day by day, singing with instruments of much volume to the Lord.H1121H3478H4672H3389H6213H2282H4682H7651H3117H1419H8057H3881H3548H1984H3068H3117H3117H5797H3627H3068 22Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites who had good understanding in the Lord's work. So the people ate the seven-day appointed feast, offering peace offerings, making confession [and giving thanks] to the Lord, the God of their fathers.H3169H1696H3820H3881H7919H2896H7922H3068H398H4150H7651H3117H2076H8002H2077H3034H3068H430H1 23And the whole assembly took counsel to prolong the feast another seven days; and they kept it another seven days with joy.H6951H3289H6213H312H7651H3117H6213H7651H3117H8057 24For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly 1,000 young bulls and 7,000 sheep, and the princes gave 1,000 young bulls and 10,000 sheep. And a great number of priests sanctified themselves [for service].H2396H4428H3063H7311H6951H505H6499H7651H505H6629H8269H7311H6951H505H6499H6235H505H6629H7230H3548H6942 25All the assembly of Judah, with the priests, the Levites, and all the assembly who with the sojourners came from the land of Israel to dwell in Judah, rejoiced.H6951H3063H3548H3881H6951H935H3478H1616H935H776H3478H3427H3063H8055 26So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon son of David king of Israel there was nothing like this in Jerusalem.H1419H8057H3389H3117H8010H1121H1732H4428H3478H3389 27Then the priests and Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard and their prayer came up to [God's] holy habitation in heaven.H3548H3881H6965H1288H5971H6963H8085H8605H935H6944H4583H8064
