2 Chronicles 30:1-6
1Then HezekiahH2396 sentH7971 word throughoutH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and he alsoH1571 wroteH3789 lettersH107 toH5921 EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 inviting them to comeH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389 to keepH6213 the PassoverH6453 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 2For the kingH4428 and his officialsH8269 and the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 in JerusalemH3389 had decidedH3289 to keepH6213 the PassoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320,1 3sinceH3588 they had been unableH3808H3201 to keep itH6213 at the regularH1931H3588 timeH6256, because notH3808 enoughH4100 priestsH3548 had consecrated themselvesH6942 and the peopleH5971 had notH3808 been gatheredH622 in JerusalemH3389.
4This planH1697 pleasedH3474H5869 the kingH4428 andH5869 the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951. 5So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to circulateH5674 a proclamationH6963 throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 toH5704 DanH1835, that the people should comeH935 to keepH6213 the PassoverH6453 of the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, in JerusalemH3389. ForH3588 they had notH3808 observed itH6213 in great numbersH7230 as prescribedH3789.
6At the commandH4687 of the kingH4428, the couriersH7323 wentH1980 throughoutH3605 IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063 with lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his officialsH8269, which readH559:
“ChildrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, returnH7725 toH413 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, so that He may returnH7725 toH413 those of you who remainH7604, who have escapedH6413 the graspH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804.
