H3169
And Hezekiah
H7971
sent
[H8799]
H3478
to all Israel
H3063
and Judah
H3789
, and wrote
[H8804]
H107
letters
H669
also to Ephraim
H4519
and Manasseh
H935
, that they should come
[H8800]
H1004
to the house
H3068
of the LORD
H3389
at Jerusalem
H6213
, to keep
[H8800]
H6453
the passover
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel.
2
H4428
For the king
H3289
had taken counsel
[H8735]
H8269
, and his princes
H6951
, and all the congregation
H3389
in Jerusalem
H6213
, to keep
[H8800]
H6453
the passover
H8145
in the second
H2320
month.
3
H3201
For they could
[H8804]
H6213
not keep
[H8800]
H6256
it at that time
H3548
, because the priests
H6942
had not sanctified
[H8694]
H4078
themselves sufficiently
[H8676]
H1767
H5971
, neither had the people
H622
gathered themselves together
[H8738]
H3389
to Jerusalem.
5
H5975
So they established
[H8686]
H1697
a decree
H5674
to make proclamation
[H8687]
H6963
H3478
throughout all Israel
H884
, from Beersheba
H1835
even to Dan
H935
, that they should come
[H8800]
H6213
to keep
[H8800]
H6453
the passover
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3389
at Jerusalem
H6213
: for they had not done
[H8804]
H7230
it of a long
H3789
time in such sort as it was written
[H8803]
.
6
H7323
So the posts
[H8801]
H3212
went
[H8799]
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
[H8800]
H1121
, Ye children
H3478
of Israel
H7725
, turn again
[H8798]
H3068
unto the LORD
H430
God
H85
of Abraham
H3327
, Isaac
H3478
, and Israel
H7725
, and he will return
[H8799]
H7604
to the remnant
[H8737]
H6413
of you, that are escaped
H3709
out of the hand
H4428
of the kings
H804
of Assyria.
