H3169
And Hezekiah
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H3478
to all Israel
H3063
and Judah
H3789 [H8804]
, and wrote
H107
letters
H669
also to Ephraim
H4519
and Manasseh
H935 [H8800]
, that they should come
H1004
to the house
H3068
of the LORD
H3389
at Jerusalem
H6213 [H8800]
, to keep
H6453
the passover
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel.
2
H4428
For the king
H3289 [H8735]
had taken counsel
H8269
, and his princes
H6951
, and all the congregation
H3389
in Jerusalem
H6213 [H8800]
, to keep
H6453
the passover
H8145
in the second
H2320
month.
3
H3201 [H8804]
For they could
H6213 [H8800]
not keep
H6256
it at that time
H3548
, because the priests
H6942 [H8694]
had not sanctified
H4078 H1767 [H8676]
themselves sufficiently
H5971
, neither had the people
H622 [H8738]
gathered themselves together
H3389
at Jerusalem.
5
H5975 [H8686]
So they established
H1697
a decree
H5674 H6963 [H8687]
to make proclamation
H3478
throughout all Israel
H884
, from Beersheba
H1835
even to Dan
H935 [H8800]
, that they should come
H6213 [H8800]
to keep
H6453
the passover
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H3389
at Jerusalem
H6213 [H8804]
: for they had not done
H7230
it of a long
H3789 [H8803]
time in the manner as it was written.
6
H7323 [H8801]
So the posts
H3212 [H8799]
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 [H8800]
, saying
H1121
, Ye children
H3478
of Israel
H7725 [H8798]
, turn again
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H85
of Abraham
H3327
, Isaac
H3478
, and Israel
H7725 [H8799]
, and he will return
H7604 [H8737]
to the remnant
H6413
of you, that have escaped
H3709
from the hand
H4428
of the kings
H804
of Assyria.
7
H1
And be not ye like your fathers
H251
, and like your brethren
H4603 [H8804]
, who trespassed
H3068
against the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers
H5414 [H8799]
, who therefore gave them up
H8047
to desolation
H7200 [H8802]
, as ye see.
8
H7185 H6203 [H8686]
Now be ye not stiffnecked
H1
, as your fathers
H5414 [H8798]
were, but yield
H3027
yourselves
H3068
to the LORD
H935 [H8798]
, and enter
H4720
into his sanctuary
H6942 [H8689]
, which he hath sanctified
H5769
for ever
H5647 [H8798]
: and serve
H3068
the LORD
H430
your God
H2740
, that the fierceness
H639
of his wrath
H7725 [H8799]
may turn away from you.
9
H7725 [H8800]
For if ye turn again
H3068
to the LORD
H251
, your brethren
H1121
and your children
H7356
shall find compassion
H6440
before
H7617 [H8802]
them that lead them captive
H7725 [H8800]
, so that they shall return
H776
into this land
H3068
: for the LORD
H430
your God
H2587
is gracious
H7349
and merciful
H5493 [H8686]
, and will not turn away
H6440
his face
H7725 [H8799]
from you, if ye return to him.
10
H7323 [H8801]
So the posts
H5674 [H8802]
passed
H5892
from city
H5892
to city
H776
through the country
H669
of Ephraim
H4519
and Manasseh
H2074
even to Zebulun
H7832 [H8688]
: but they laughed them to scorn
H3932 [H8688]
, and mocked them.
11
H582
Nevertheless some
H836
from Asher
H4519
and Manasseh
H2074
and of Zebulun
H3665 [H8738]
humbled
H935 [H8799]
themselves, and came
H3389
to Jerusalem.
12
H3063
Also in Judah
H3027
the hand
H430
of God
H5414 [H8800]
was to give
H259
them one
H3820
heart
H6213 [H8800]
to do
H4687
the commandment
H4428
of the king
H8269
and of the princes
H1697
, by the word
H3068
of the LORD.
13
H622 [H8735]
And there assembled
H3389
at Jerusalem
H7227
many
H5971
people
H6213 [H8800]
to keep
H2282
the feast
H4682
of unleavened bread
H8145
in the second
H2320
month
H3966
, a very
H7230
great
H6951
congregation.
14
H6965 [H8799]
And they arose
H5493 [H8686]
and took away
H4196
the altars
H3389
that were in Jerusalem
H6999
, and all the altars for incense
H5493 [H8689]
they took away
H7993 [H8686]
, and cast
H5158
them into the brook
H6939
Kidron.
15
H7819 [H8799]
Then they killed
H6453
the passover
H702 H6240
on the fourteenth
H8145
day of the second
H2320
month
H3548
: and the priests
H3881
and the Levites
H3637 [H8738]
were ashamed
H6942 [H8691]
, and sanctified
H935 [H8686]
themselves, and brought in
H5930
the burnt offerings
H1004
into the house
H3068
of the LORD.
16
H5975 [H8799]
And they stood
H5977
in their place
H4941
after their custom
H8451
, according to the law
H4872
of Moses
H376
the man
H430
of God
H3548
: the priests
H2236 [H8802]
sprinkled
H1818
the blood
H3027
, which they received from the hand
H3881
of the Levites.
17
H7227
For there were many
H6951
in the congregation
H6942 [H8694]
that were not sanctified
H3881
: therefore the Levites
H7821
had the charge of the killing
H6453
of the passovers
H2889
for every one that was not clean
H6942 [H8687]
, to sanctify
H3068
them to the LORD.
18
H4768
For a multitude
H5971
of the people
H7227
, even many
H669
of Ephraim
H4519
, and Manasseh
H3485
, Issachar
H2074
, and Zebulun
H3808
, had not
H2891 [H8694]
cleansed
H398 [H8804]
themselves, yet they ate
H6453
the passover
H3789 [H8803]
otherwise than it was written
H3169
. But Hezekiah
H6419 [H8694]
prayed
H559 [H8800]
for them, saying
H2896
, The good
H3068
LORD
H3722 [H8762]
pardon every one
19
H3559 [H8689]
That prepareth
H3824
his heart
H1875 [H8800]
to seek
H430
God
H3068
, the LORD
H430
God
H1
of his fathers
H2893
, though he is not cleansed according to the purification
H6944
of the sanctuary.
20
H3068
And the LORD
H8085 [H8799]
hearkened
H3169
to Hezekiah
H7495 [H8799]
, and healed
H5971
the people.
21
H1121
And the children
H3478
of Israel
H4672 [H8737]
that were present
H3389
at Jerusalem
H6213 [H8799]
kept
H2282
the feast
H4682
of unleavened bread
H7651
seven
H3117
days
H1419
with great
H8057
gladness
H3881
: and the Levites
H3548
and the priests
H1984 [H8764]
praised
H3068
the LORD
H3117
day
H3117
by day
H5797
, singing with loud
H3627
instruments
H3068
to the LORD.
22
H3169
And Hezekiah
H1696 H3820 [H8762]
encouraged
H3881
all the Levites
H7919 [H8688]
that taught
H2896
the good
H7922
knowledge
H3068
of the LORD
H398 [H8799]
: and they ate
H4150
throughout the feast
H7651
seven
H3117
days
H2076 [H8764]
, offering
H8002
peace
H2077
offerings
H3034 [H8693]
, and making confession
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H1
of their fathers.
23
H6951
And the whole assembly
H3289 [H8735]
took counsel
H6213 [H8800]
to keep
H312
other
H7651
seven
H3117
days
H6213 [H8799]
: and they kept
H7651
other seven
H3117
days
H8057
with gladness.
24
H2396
For Hezekiah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H7311 [H8689]
gave
H6951
to the congregation
H505
a thousand
H6499
bulls
H7651
and seven
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep
H8269
; and the princes
H7311 [H8689]
gave
H6951
to the congregation
H505
a thousand
H6499
bulls
H6235
and ten
H505
thousand
H6629
sheep
H7230
: and a great number
H3548
of priests
H6942 [H8691]
sanctified themselves.
25
H6951
And all the congregation
H3063
of Judah
H3548
, with the priests
H3881
and the Levites
H6951
, and all the congregation
H935 [H8802]
that came out
H3478
of Israel
H1616
, and the strangers
H935 [H8802]
that came from
H776
the land
H3478
of Israel
H3427 [H8802]
, and that dwelt
H3063
in Judah
H8055 [H8799]
, rejoiced.
