2 Chronicles 29:13-30

13ShimriH8113 and JeuelH3273 fromH4480 the ElizaphanitesH1121H469; ZechariahH2148 and MattaniahH4983 fromH4480 the AsaphitesH1121H623; 14JehielH3171 and ShimeiH8096 fromH4480 the HemanitesH1121H1968; and ShemaiahH8098 and UzzielH5816 fromH4480 the JeduthunitesH1121H3038.

15When they had assembledH622 their brothersH251 and consecrated themselvesH6942, they went inH935 to cleanseH2891 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandH4687 of the kingH4428 by the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068.

16So the priestsH3548 wentH935 insideH6441 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 to cleanseH2891 it, and they brought outH3318 to the courtyardH2691 allH3605 the unclean thingsH2932 thatH834 they foundH4672 in the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068. Then the LevitesH3881 tookH6901 these things and carriedH3318 them outH2351 to the KidronH6939 ValleyH5158. 17They beganH2490 the consecrationH6942 on the firstH259 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and on the eighthH8083 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 they reachedH935 the porticoH197 of the LORDH3068. For eightH8083 more daysH3117 they consecratedH6942 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 itself, finishingH3615 on the sixteenthH8337H6240 dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320.

18Then they wentH935 inH6441 toH413 KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and reportedH559, “We have cleansedH2891 the entireH3605 houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 with allH3605 its utensilsH3627, and the tableH7979 of the showbreadH4635 withH853 allH3605 its utensilsH3627. 19MoreoverH853, we have preparedH3559 and consecratedH6942H2005 allH3605 the articlesH3627 thatH834 KingH4428 AhazH271 in his unfaithfulnessH4604 cast asideH2186 during his reignH4438. They are now in frontH6440 of the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.”

20Early the next morningH7925 KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 gatheredH622 the cityH5892 officialsH8269 and wentH5927 up to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 21They broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullsH6499, sevenH7651 ramsH352, sevenH7651 lambsH3532, and sevenH7651 male goatsH6842H5795 as a sin offeringH2403 forH5921 the kingdomH4467, forH5921 the sanctuaryH4720, and forH5921 JudahH3063. And the king commandedH559 the priestsH3548, the descendantsH1121 of AaronH175, to offer themH5927 onH5921 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068.

22So they slaughteredH7819 the bullsH1241, and the priestsH3548 tookH6901 the bloodH1818 and splatteredH2236 it on the altarH4196. They slaughteredH7819 the ramsH352 and splatteredH2236 the bloodH1818 on the altarH4196. And they slaughteredH7819 the lambsH3532 and splatteredH2236 the bloodH1818 on the altarH4196.

23Then they broughtH5066 the goatsH8163 for the sin offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the assemblyH6951, who laidH5564 their handsH3027 on themH5921. 24And the priestsH3548 slaughtered the goatsH7819 and put their bloodH1818 on the altarH4196 for a sin offeringH2398, to make atonementH3722 forH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478, becauseH3588 the kingH4428 had orderedH559 the burnt offeringH5930 and the sin offeringH2403 for allH3605 IsraelH3478.

25Hezekiah stationedH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, harpsH5035, and lyresH3658 according to the commandH4687 of DavidH1732, of GadH1410 the king’sH4428 seerH2374, and of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030. ForH3588 the commandH4687 had come fromH3027 the LORDH3068 throughH3027 His prophetsH5030. 26The LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.

27And HezekiahH2396 orderedH559 that the burnt offeringH5930 be sacrificedH5927 on the altarH4196. WhenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 and the trumpetsH2689 began as wellH2490, accompanied byH5921H3027 the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 28The wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 was worshipingH7812, the singersH7892 were singingH7891, and the trumpetersH2689 were playingH2690. All thisH3605 continued untilH5704 the burnt offeringH5930 was completedH3615.

29When the offeringsH5927 were completedH3615, the kingH4428 and allH3605 those presentH4672 with himH854 bowed downH3766 and worshipedH7812. 30Then KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and his officialsH8269 orderedH559 the LevitesH3881 to sing praisesH1984 to the LORDH3068 in the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732 and of AsaphH623 the seerH2374. So they sang praisesH1984H5704 with gladnessH8057 and bowed downH6915 and worshipedH7812.
