2 Chronicles 30:1-6

1And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971 to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789 lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935 to the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

2For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320.

3For they couldH3201 not keepH6213 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves sufficientlyH1767H4078, neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389.

4And the thingH1697 pleasedH5869H3474 the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951.1

5So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH6963H5674 throughout all IsraelH3478, from Beer–shebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213 it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.

6So the postsH7323 wentH3212 with the lettersH107 fromH3027 the kingH4428 and his princesH8269 throughout all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and according to the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428, sayingH559, Ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725 unto YhwhH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, and he will returnH7725 to the remnantH7604 of you, that are escapedH6413 out of the handH3709 of the kingsH4428 of AssyriaH804.2
