H3169
And Hezekiah
H7971
sent
H3478
to all Israel
H3063
and Judah,
H3789
and wrote
H107
letters
H669
also to Ephraim
H4519
and Manasseh,
H935
that they should come
H1004
to the house
H3068
of Jehovah
H3389
at Jerusalem,
H6213
to keep
H6453
the passover
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel.
2
H4428
For the king
H3289
had taken counsel,
H8269
and his princes,
H6951
and all the assembly
H3389
in Jerusalem,
H6213
to keep
H6453
the passover
H8145
in the second
H2320
month.
3
H3201
For they could
H6213
not keep
H6256
it at that time,
H3548
because the priests
H6942
had not sanctified
H4078
themselves in sufficient
H5971
number, neither had the people
H622
gathered themselves together
H3389
to Jerusalem.
5
H5975
So they established
H1697
a decree
H5674
to make proclamation
H3478
throughout all Israel,
H884
from Beer-sheba
H1835
even to Dan,
H935
that they should come
H6213
to keep
H6453
the passover
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H3389
at Jerusalem:
H6213
for they had not kept
H7230
it in great numbers
H3789
in such sort as it is written.
6
H7323
So the posts
H3212
went
H107
with the letters
H3027
from
H4428
the king
H8269
and his princes
H3478
throughout all Israel
H3063
and Judah,
H4687
and according to the commandment
H4428
of the king,
H559
saying,
H1121
Ye children
H3478
of Israel,
H7725
turn again
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H430
the God
H85
of Abraham,
H3327
Isaac,
H3478
and Israel,
H7725
that he may return
H7604
to the remnant
H6413
that are escaped
H3709
of you out of the hand
H4428
of the kings
H804
of Assyria.

H1
And be not ye like your fathers,
H251
and like your brethren,
H4603
who trespassed
H3068
against Jehovah,
H430
the God
H1
of their fathers,
H5414
so that he gave them up
H8047
to desolation,
H7200
as ye see.
8
H7185
Now be ye not stiffnecked,
H1
as your fathers
H5414
were; but yield
H3027
yourselves
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H935
and enter
H4720
into his sanctuary,
H6942
which he hath sanctified
H5769
for ever,
H5647
and serve
H3068
Jehovah
H430
your God,
H2740
that his fierce
H639
anger
H7725
may turn away from you.
9
H7725
For if ye turn again
H3068
unto Jehovah,
H251
your brethren
H1121
and your children
H7356
shall find compassion
H6440
before
H7617
them that led them captive,
H7725
and shall come again
H776
into this land:
H3068
for Jehovah
H430
your God
H2587
is gracious
H7349
and merciful,
H5493
and will not turn away
H6440
his face
H7725
from you, if ye return unto him.
