2 Chronicles 29:20-36

20Then KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 aroseH7925 earlyH7925 and assembledH622 the princesH8269 of the cityH5892 and wentH5927 up to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 21They broughtH935 sevenH7651 bullsH6499, sevenH7651 ramsH352, sevenH7651 lambsH3532 and sevenH7651 maleH6842 goatsH5795 1for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 for the kingdomH4467, the sanctuaryH4720, and JudahH3063. And he orderedH559 the priestsH3548, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, to offerH5927 them on the altarH4196 of the LordH3068. 22So they slaughteredH7819 the bullsH1241, and the priestsH3548 tookH6901 the bloodH1818 and sprinkledH2236 it on the altarH4196. They also slaughteredH7819 the ramsH352 and sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 on the altarH4196; they slaughteredH7819 the lambsH3532 also and 2sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818 on the altarH4196. 23Then they broughtH5066 the maleH8163 goatsH8163 of the sinH2403 offeringH2403 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the assemblyH6951, and 3they laidH5564 their handsH3027 on them. 24The priestsH3548 slaughteredH7819 them and purgedH2398 the altarH4196 with their bloodH1818 4to atoneH3722 for allH3605 IsraelH3478, for the kingH4428 orderedH559 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the sinH2403 offeringH2403 for allH3605 IsraelH3478.

25 5He then stationedH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with harpsH5035 and with lyresH3658, 6according to the commandH4687 of DavidH1732 and of 7GadH1410 the king’sH4428 seerH2374, and of 8NathanH5416 the prophetH5030; for the commandH4687 was from the LordH3068 throughH3027 His prophetsH5030. 26The LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with 9the musical instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and 10the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689. 27Then HezekiahH2396 gaveH559 the orderH559 to offerH5927 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 on the altarH4196. WhenH6256 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 beganH2490, 11the songH7892 to the LordH3068 also beganH2490 with the trumpetsH2689, 12accompanied by the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. 28While the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 worshipedH7812, the singersH7892 also sangH7891 and the trumpetsH2689 soundedH2690; allH3605 this continued untilH5704 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 was finishedH3615.

29Now at the completionH3615 of the burntH5927 offeringsH5927, 13the kingH4428 and allH3605 who were presentH4672 with him bowedH3766 downH3766 and worshipedH7812. 30Moreover, KingH4428 HezekiahH2396 and the officialsH8269 orderedH559 the LevitesH3881 to singH1984 praisesH1984 to the LordH3068 with the wordsH1697 of DavidH1732 and AsaphH623 the seerH2374. 14So they sangH1984 praisesH1984 with joyH8057, and bowedH6915 downH6915 and worshipedH7812.

31Then HezekiahH2396 saidH559, “15NowH6258 that you have 16consecratedH4390 H3027 yourselvesH3027 to the LordH3068, comeH5066 nearH5066 and bringH935 sacrificesH2077 and thankH8426 offeringsH8426 to the houseH1004 of the LordH3068.” And the assemblyH6951 broughtH935 sacrificesH2077 and thankH8426 offeringsH8426, and 17allH3605 those who were 18willingH5081 brought burntH5930 offeringsH5930. 32The numberH4557 of the burntH5930 offeringsH5930 whichH834 the assemblyH6951 broughtH935 was 70H7657 bullsH1241, 100H3967 ramsH352, and 200H3967 lambsH3532; allH3605 theseH428 were for a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068. 33The consecratedH6944 thingsH6944 were 600H8337 H3967 bullsH1241 and 3,000H7969 H505 sheepH6629. 34But the priestsH3548 were too fewH4592, so that they were unableH3808 H3201 to skinH6584 allH3605 the burntH5930 offeringsH5930; 19therefore their brothersH251 the LevitesH3881 helpedH2388 them untilH5704 the workH4399 was completedH3615 and untilH5704 the other priestsH3548 had consecratedH6942 themselves. For 20the LevitesH3881 were moreH4480 21conscientiousH3477 H3824 to consecrateH6942 themselves thanH4480 the priestsH3548. 35There were alsoH1571 22 23manyH7230 burntH5930 offeringsH5930 with 24the fatH2459 of the peaceH8002 offeringsH8002 and with 25the libationsH5262 for the burntH5930 offeringsH5930. Thus the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 was establishedH3559 again. 36Then HezekiahH2396 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 rejoicedH8055 overH5921 what GodH430 had preparedH3559 for the peopleH5971, becauseH3588 the thingH1697 cameH1961 about suddenlyH6597.
