2 Chronicles 29:20-36

20Then HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428 arose earlyH7925, and gatheredH622 the princesH8269 of the cityH5892, and wentH5927 up to the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 21And they broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullocks, and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, and sevenH7651 he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdomH4467 and for the sanctuaryH4720 and for JudahH3063. And he commanded the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 to offerH5927 them on the altarH4196 of Jehovah. 22So they killed the bullocks, and the priestsH3548 received the bloodH1818, and sprinkledH2236 it on the altarH4196: and they killed the ramsH352, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196: they killed also the lambsH3532, and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196. 23And they broughtH5066 near the he-goats for the sin-offering before the kingH4428 and the assemblyH6951; and they laidH5564 their handsH3027 upon them: 24and the priestsH3548 killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their bloodH1818 upon the altarH4196, to make atonementH3722 for all IsraelH3478; for the kingH4428 commanded that the burnt-offering and the sin-offering should be made for all IsraelH3478.

25And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah with cymbalsH4700, with psalteries, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king’sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030; for the commandmentH4687 was of Jehovah by his prophetsH5030. 26And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689. 27And HezekiahH2396 commanded to offerH5927 the burnt-offering upon the altarH4196. And when the burnt-offering beganH2490, the songH7892 of Jehovah beganH2490 also, and the trumpetsH2689, together with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 28And all the assemblyH6951 worshipped, and the singersH7891 sangH7891, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finishedH3615.

29And when they had made an endH3615 of offeringH5927, the kingH4428 and all that were present with him bowedH7812 themselves and worshipped. 30Moreover HezekiahH2396 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269 commanded the LevitesH3881 to sing praises unto Jehovah with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732, and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. And they sang praises with gladnessH8057, and they bowedH7812 their heads and worshipped.

31Then HezekiahH2396 answered and saidH559, NowH6258 ye have consecrated yourselves unto Jehovah; comeH935 near and bringH935 sacrificesH2077 and thank-offerings into the houseH1004 of Jehovah. And the assemblyH6951 broughtH935 in sacrificesH2077 and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willingH5081 heartH3820 broughtH935 burnt-offerings. 32And the numberH4557 of the burnt-offerings which the assemblyH6951 broughtH935 wasH1961 threescore and ten bullocks, a hundredH3967 ramsH352, and twoH3967 hundredH3967 lambsH3532: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 33And the consecratedH6942 thingsH7969 were sixH8337 hundredH3967 oxenH1241 and threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629. 34But the priestsH3548 wereH1961 too fewH4592, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings: wherefore their brethren the LevitesH3881 did help them, till the workH4399 wasH1961 endedH3615, and until the priestsH3548 had sanctifiedH6942 themselves; for the LevitesH3881 wereH1961 more uprightH3477 in heartH3824 to sanctifyH6942 themselves than the priestsH3548. 35And alsoH1571 the burnt-offerings were in abundanceH7230, with the fatH2459 of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah was set in order. 36And HezekiahH2396 rejoicedH8055, and all the peopleH5971, because of that which GodH430 had preparedH3559 for the peopleH5971: for the thingH1697 wasH1961 done suddenlyH6597.
