Revised Version 1895
2 Chronicles 35:2-19
2And he setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their charges, and encouragedH2388 them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
3And he saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995 allH3605 IsraelH3478, whichH834 were holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 whichH834 SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 didH834 buildH1129; there shall noH369 moreH369 be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: nowH6258 serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
4And prepareH3559 yourselves after your fathers’H1 housesH1004 by your courses, according to the writingH4385 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
5And standH5975 in the holyH6944 placeH6944 according to the divisionsH2515 of the fathers’H1 housesH1004 of your brethrenH251 the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, and let there be for eachH5971 a portionH6944 of a fathers’H1 houseH1004 of the LevitesH3881.
6And killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 for your brethrenH251, to doH6213 accordingH3027 to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
7And JosiahH2977 gave to the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kids, allH3605 of them for the passoverH6453 offeringsH6453, unto allH3605 that were presentH4672, to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocks: theseH428 were of the king’sH4428 substance.
8And his princesH8269 gaveH5414 for a freewillH5071 offering unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881. HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, the rulersH8269 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414 unto the priestsH3548 for the passoverH6453 offeringsH5071 twoH3967 thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattleH1241, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241.
9ConaniahH3562 also, and ShemaiahH8098 and NethanelH5417, his brethrenH251, and HashabiahH2811 and JeielH3273 and JozabadH3107, the chiefsH8269 of the LevitesH3881, gave unto the LevitesH3881 for the passoverH6453 offeringsH6453 fiveH2568 thousandH505 small cattleH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 oxenH1241.
10SoH5975 the serviceH5656 was preparedH3559, and the priestsH3548 stoodH5975 in their placeH5975, and the LevitesH3881 by their courses, accordingH5921 to the king’sH4428 commandmentH4687.
11And they killedH7819 the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the blood, which they received of their handH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayed them:
12And they removedH5493 the burntH5930 offeringsH3068, that they might giveH5414 them according to the divisionsH4653 of the fathers’H1 housesH1004 of the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And soH3651 didH3651 they with the oxenH1241.
13And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 accordingH4941 to the ordinanceH4941: and the holyH6944 offeringsH6453 sod they in potsH5518, and in caldrons, and in pansH6745, and carriedH7323 them quicklyH7323 to allH3605 the childrenH1121 of the peopleH5971.
14And afterwardH310 they preparedH3559 for themselvesH310, and for the priestsH3548; becauseH3588 the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offering the burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 untilH5704 nightH3915: therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselvesH310, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
15And the singersH7891 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH3559, accordingH5921 to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king’sH4428 seerH2374; and the porters were at everyH8179 gateH8179: they needed notH369 to departH5493 from their serviceH5656, for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for them.
16SoH6213 allH3605 the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559 the sameH1931 dayH3117, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927 burntH5930 offeringsH6453 uponH5921 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, accordingH5921 to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
17And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 at that time, and the feastH2282 of unleavenedH4682 breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117.
18And there was noH3808 passoverH6453 like to that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neitherH3808 didH6213 anyH3605 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 suchH834 a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and allH3605 JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389.
19In the eighteenthH6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JosiahH2977 was this passoverH6453 keptH6213.
