2 Chronicles 30:13-27
13And there assembledH622 at JerusalemH3389 muchH7227 peopleH5971 to keepH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 in the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 congregationH6951. 14And they aroseH6965 and took awayH5493 the altarsH4196 that were in JerusalemH3389, and all the altars for incenseH6999 took they awayH5493, and castH7993 them into the brookH5158 KidronH6939. 15Then they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH6240H702 day of the secondH8145 monthH2320: and the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 were ashamedH3637, and sanctifiedH6942 themselves, and brought inH935 the burnt offeringsH5930 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 16And they stoodH5975 in their placeH5977 after their mannerH4941, according to the lawH8451 of MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430: the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the bloodH1818, which they received of the handH3027 of the LevitesH3881.1 17For there were manyH7227 in the congregationH6951 that were not sanctifiedH6942: therefore the LevitesH3881 had the charge of the killingH7821 of the passoversH6453 for every one that was not cleanH2889, to sanctifyH6942 them unto YhwhH3068. 18For a multitudeH4768 of the peopleH5971, even manyH7227 of EphraimH669, and ManassehH4519, IssacharH3485, and ZebulunH2074, had notH3808 cleansedH2891 themselves, yet did they eatH398 the passoverH6453 otherwise than it was writtenH3789. But HezekiahH3169 prayedH6419 for them, sayingH559, The goodH2896 YhwhH3068 pardonH3722 every one 19That preparethH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430, YhwhH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944. 20And YhwhH3068 hearkenedH8085 to HezekiahH3169, and healedH7495 the peopleH5971. 21And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 at JerusalemH3389 keptH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117 with greatH1419 gladnessH8057: and the LevitesH3881 and the priestsH3548 praisedH1984 YhwhH3068 dayH3117 by dayH3117, singing with loudH5797 instrumentsH3627 unto YhwhH3068.23 22And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of YhwhH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to YhwhH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.4 23And the whole assemblyH6951 took counselH3289 to keepH6213 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117: and they keptH6213 other sevenH7651 daysH3117 with gladnessH8057. 24For HezekiahH2396 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 did giveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629; and the princesH8269 gaveH7311 to the congregationH6951 a thousandH505 bullocksH6499 and tenH6235 thousandH505 sheepH6629: and a great numberH7230 of priestsH3548 sanctifiedH6942 themselves.56 25And all the congregationH6951 of JudahH3063, with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and all the congregationH6951 that came outH935 of IsraelH3478, and the strangersH1616 that came outH935 of the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and that dweltH3427 in JudahH3063, rejoicedH8055. 26So there was greatH1419 joyH8057 in JerusalemH3389: for since the timeH3117 of SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 there was not the like in JerusalemH3389.
27Then the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881 aroseH6965 and blessedH1288 the peopleH5971: and their voiceH6963 was heardH8085, and their prayerH8605 cameH935 up to his holyH6944 dwelling placeH4583, even unto heavenH8064.7
