2 Chronicles 30:13-20

13In the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 assemblyH6951H5971H7227 gatheredH622 in JerusalemH3389 to celebrateH6213 the FeastH2282 of Unleavened BreadH4682.1 14They proceededH6965 to removeH5493 the altarsH4196 in JerusalemH3389 and to take awayH5493 the incense altarsH6999 and throw themH7993 into the KidronH6939 ValleyH5158. 15And on the fourteenthH702H6240 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320 they slaughteredH7819 the Passover lambH6453. The priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 were ashamedH3637, and they consecrated themselvesH6942 and broughtH935 burnt offeringsH5930 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.

16They stoodH5975 atH5921 their prescribedH4941 postsH5977, according to the LawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430. The priestsH3548 splatteredH2236 the bloodH1818, which they received from the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881. 17SinceH3588 there were manyH7227 in the assemblyH6951 whoH834 had notH3808 consecrated themselvesH6942, the LevitesH3881 were in charge ofH5921 slaughteringH7821 the PassoverH6453 lambs for everyH3605 unclean personH3808H2889 to consecrateH6942 the lambs to the LORDH3068.

A large numberH4768 of the peopleH5971—manyH7227 from EphraimH669, ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074—had notH3808 purified themselvesH2891, yetH3588 they ateH398 the PassoverH6453, contraryH3808 to what was writtenH3789. ButH3588 HezekiahH2396 intercededH6419 for themH5921, sayingH559, “May the LORDH3068, who is goodH2896, provide atonement forH3722 everyoneH1157 19whoH3605 setsH3559 his heartH3824 on seekingH1875 GodH430—the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of his fathersH1—even if he is notH3808 cleansed according to the purificationH2893 rules of the sanctuaryH6944.”

20And the LORDH3068H413 heardH8085 HezekiahH2396 and healedH7495 the peopleH5971.
