2 Chronicles 30:2-12

2For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the assemblyH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keep the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320. 3For they could not keepH6942 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves in sufficient number, neither had the peopleH5971 gatheredH622 themselves together to JerusalemH3389. 4And the thingH1697 was right in the eyesH5869 of the kingH4428 and of all the assemblyH6951. 5So they established a decree to makeH6213 proclamationH6963 throughout all IsraelH3478, from Beer-sheba even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keep the passoverH6453 unto Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is writtenH3789. 6So the posts wentH7725 with the lettersH107 from the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye children of IsraelH3478, turnH7725 again unto Jehovah, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, that he may returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 that are escapedH6413 of you out of the handH3027 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804. 7And beH1961 not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, so that he gaveH5414 them up to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200. 8NowH6258 be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathersH1 were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769, and serveH5647 Jehovah your GodH430, that his fierce angerH639 may turnH7725 awayH7725 from you. 9For if ye turnH7725 again unto Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassionH7356 before them that led them captiveH7617, and shall come again into this landH776: for Jehovah your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and merciful, and will not turnH7725 awayH5493 his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto him.

10So the posts passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the country of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughedH7832 them to scorn, and mockedH3932 them. 11NeverthelessH389 certain menH376 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389. 12AlsoH1571 upon JudahH3063 came the handH3027 of GodH430 to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820, to do the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269 by the wordH1697 of Jehovah.
