2 Chronicles 30:5-9

5So they established a decree to circulate a 1proclamation throughout Israel 2from Beersheba to Dan, that they are to come to celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel in Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as was written. 63The 4couriers went throughout Israel and Judah with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes, even according to the command of the king, saying, “Sons of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to those of you who escaped and are left from 5the 6hand of the kings of Assyria. 77Do not be like your fathers and your brothers, who were untrue to the Lord God of their fathers, so that 8He made them an object of horror, just as you see. 8Now do not 9stiffen your neck like your fathers, but 10yield to the Lord and enter His sanctuary which He has consecrated forever, and serve the Lord your God, 11that His burning anger may turn away from you. 9For 12if you return to the Lord, your brothers and your sons will find compassion in the presence of those who led them captive, and will return to this land. 13For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”
