2 Chronicles 31:1-10

1Now when all this was finishedH3615, all IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 went outH3318 to the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and brakeH7665 the imagesH4676 in piecesH7665, and cut downH1438 the grovesH842, and threw downH5422 the high placesH1116 and the altarsH4196 out of all JudahH3063 and BenjaminH1144, in EphraimH669 also and ManassehH4519, until they had utterly destroyedH3615 them all. Then all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725, every manH376 to his possessionH272, into their own citiesH5892.123

2And HezekiahH3169 appointedH5975 the coursesH4256 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 after their coursesH4256, every manH376 accordingH6310 to his serviceH5656, the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 for burnt offeringsH5930 and for peace offeringsH8002, to ministerH8334, and to give thanksH3034, and to praiseH1984 in the gatesH8179 of the tentsH4264 of YhwhH3068. 3He appointed also the king’sH4428 portionH4521 of his substanceH7399 for the burnt offeringsH5930, to wit, for the morningH1242 and eveningH6153 burnt offeringsH5930, and the burnt offeringsH5930 for the sabbathsH7676, and for the new moonsH2320, and for the set feastsH4150, as it is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068. 4Moreover he commandedH559 the peopleH5971 that dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 to giveH5414 the portionH4521 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, that they might be encouragedH2388 in the lawH8451 of YhwhH3068.

5And as soon as the commandmentH1697 came abroadH6555, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 broughtH935 in abundanceH7235 the firstfruitsH7225 of grainH1715, wineH8492, and oilH3323, and honeyH1706, and of all the increaseH8393 of the fieldH7704; and the titheH4643 of all things broughtH935 they in abundantlyH7230.45 6And concerning the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, that dweltH3427 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, they also brought inH935 the titheH4643 of oxenH1241 and sheepH6629, and the titheH4643 of holy thingsH6944 which were consecratedH6942 unto YhwhH3068 their GodH430, and laidH5414 them by heapsH6194.6 7In the thirdH7992 monthH2320 they beganH2490 to lay the foundationH3245 of the heapsH6194, and finishedH3615 them in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 8And when HezekiahH3169 and the princesH8269 cameH935 and sawH7200 the heapsH6194, they blessedH1288 YhwhH3068, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 9Then HezekiahH3169 questionedH1875 with the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 concerning the heapsH6194. 10And AzariahH5838 the chiefH7218 priestH3548 of the houseH1004 of ZadokH6659 answeredH559 him, and saidH559, Since the people beganH2490 to bringH935 the offeringsH8641 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068, we have had enoughH7646 to eatH398, and have leftH3498 plentyH7230: for YhwhH3068 hath blessedH1288 his peopleH5971; and that which is leftH3498 is this great storeH1995.
