LEB(i)
17 For there were many in the assembly who did not consecrate themselves, so the Levites were over the killing of the Passover sacrifices for all who were not clean, to consecrate them to Yahweh.
18 For a majority of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves. But they ate the Passover sacrifice ⌊otherwise than prescribed⌋,* but Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good Yahweh make atonement unto
19 everyone whose heart is set to seek God, Yahweh the God of his ancestors,* though not according to the cleansing for the sanctuary."
20 And Yahweh listened to Hezekiah, and he healed the people.
