2 Chronicles 30:1-6 Then Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to celebrate the passover to the Lord God of Israel.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasses, to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to celebrate the passover to the Lord God of Israel. ² Now the king, and the chiefs, and all the congregation at Jerusalem, had come to a determination to keep the passover in the second month; ³ for they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priests was not purified, nor were the people assembled at Jerusalem. ⁴ And as this was agreed on by the king and the whole congregation, ⁵ therefore they determined to make proclamation, throughout all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they might come and keep the passover, to the Lord God of Israel, at Jerusalem, because a multitude had not done it according to the scripture. ⁶ So the expresses went with letters from the king, and the chiefs, to all Israel and Juda, according to the decree of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham and Isaak and Israel, and bring back the remnant who have escaped from the hand of the king of Assur.
