2 Chronicles 30:10-19
10So the 1couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, and as far as Zebulun, but 2they laughed at them with scorn and mocked them. 11Nevertheless, 3some men of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem. 12The 4hand of God was also on Judah to give them one heart to do what the king and the princes commanded by the word of the Lord.
13Now many people were gathered at Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread 5in the second month, a very large assembly. 14They got up and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem; they also 6removed all the incense altars and 7threw them into the brook Kidron. 15Then 8they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth of the second month. And 9the priests and Levites were ashamed of themselves, and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the Lord. 1610They stood at their stations following their custom, according to the Law of Moses the man of God; the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from the hand of the Levites. 17For there were many in the assembly who had not consecrated themselves; therefore, 11the Levites were in charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was unclean, in order to consecrate them to the Lord. 18For a multitude of the people, 12many from Ephraim and Manasseh, and Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, 13yet they ate the Passover 14contrary to what was written. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord pardon 1915everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though not according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.”
