JosiahH2977 was eightH8083 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427, and he reignedH4427 thirtyH7970 and oneH259 yearsH8141 in JerusalemH3389. And his mother'sH517 nameH8034 was JedidahH3040, the daughterH1323 of AdaiahH5718 of BoscathH1218.
And he didH6213 that which was rightH3477 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, and walkedH3212 in all the wayH1870 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1, and turned not asideH5493 to the right handH3225 or to the leftH8040.
And it came to pass in the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977, that the kingH4428 sentH7971 ShaphanH8227 the sonH1121 of AzaliahH683, the sonH1121 of MeshullamH4918, the scribeH5608, to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
Go upH5927 to HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548, that he may sumH8552 the silverH3701 which is broughtH935 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, which the keepersH8104 of the doorH5592 have gatheredH622 of the peopleH5971: {door: Heb. threshold}
And let them deliverH5414 it into the handH3027 of the doersH6213 of the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068: and let them giveH5414 it to the doersH6213 of the workH4399 which is in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, to repairH2388 the breachesH919 of the houseH1004,
Unto carpentersH2796, and buildersH1129, and masonsH1443, and to buyH7069 timberH6086 and hewnH4274 stoneH68 to repairH2388 the houseH1004.
Howbeit there was no reckoning madeH2803 with them of the moneyH3701 that was deliveredH5414 into their handH3027, because they dealtH6213 faithfullyH530.
And HilkiahH2518 the highH1419 priestH3548 saidH559 unto ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, I have foundH4672 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. And HilkiahH2518 gaveH5414 the bookH5612 to ShaphanH8227, and he readH7121 it.
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, and saidH559, Thy servantsH5650 have gatheredH5413 the moneyH3701 that was foundH4672 in the houseH1004, and have deliveredH5414 it into the handH3027 of them that doH6213 the workH4399, that have the oversightH6485 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {gathered: Heb. melted}
And ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 shewedH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath deliveredH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 had heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 of the lawH8451, that he rentH7167 his clothesH899.
And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296 the sonH1121 of ShaphanH8227, and AchborH5907 the sonH1121 of MichaiahH4320, and ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608, and AsahiahH6222 a servantH5650 of the king'sH4428, sayingH559,
GoH3212 ye, enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 for me, and for the peopleH5971, and for all JudahH3063, concerning the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612 that is foundH4672: for greatH1419 is the wrathH2534 of the LORDH3068 that is kindledH3341 against us, because our fathersH1 have not hearkenedH8085 unto the wordsH1697 of this bookH5612, to doH6213 according unto all that which is writtenH3789 concerning us.
So HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548, and AhikamH296, and AchborH5907, and ShaphanH8227, and AsahiahH6222, wentH3212 unto HuldahH2468 the prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of ShallumH7967 the sonH1121 of TikvahH8616, the sonH1121 of HarhasH2745, keeperH8104 of the wardrobeH899; (now she dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389 in the collegeH4932;) and they communedH1696 with her. {wardrobe: Heb. garments} {in the…: or, in the second part}
And she saidH559 unto them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, TellH559 the manH376 that sentH7971 you to me,
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will bringH935 evilH7451 upon this placeH4725, and upon the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, even all the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612 which the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 hath readH7121:
Because they have forsakenH5800 me, and have burned incenseH6999 unto otherH312 godsH430, that they might provoke me to angerH3707 with all the worksH4639 of their handsH3027; therefore my wrathH2534 shall be kindledH3341 against this placeH4725, and shall not be quenchedH3518.
But to the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 which sentH7971 you to enquireH1875 of the LORDH3068, thus shall ye sayH559 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, As touching the wordsH1697 which thou hast heardH8085;
Because thine heartH3824 was tenderH7401, and thou hast humbledH3665 thyself beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, when thou heardestH8085 what I spakeH1696 against this placeH4725, and against the inhabitantsH3427 thereof, that they should become a desolationH8047 and a curseH7045, and hast rentH7167 thy clothesH899, and weptH1058 beforeH6440 me; I also have heardH8085 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Behold therefore, I will gatherH622 thee unto thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 into thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965; and thine eyesH5869 shall not seeH7200 all the evilH7451 which I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725. And they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.

And MosesH4872 wroteH3789 this lawH8451, and deliveredH5414 it unto the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878, which bareH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and unto all the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478.
And MosesH4872 commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, At the endH7093 of every sevenH7651 yearsH8141, in the solemnityH4150 of the yearH8141 of releaseH8059, in the feastH2282 of tabernaclesH5521,
When all IsraelH3478 is comeH935 to appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 in the placeH4725 which he shall chooseH977, thou shalt readH7121 this lawH8451 before all IsraelH3478 in their hearingH241.
GatherH6950 the peopleH5971 togetherH6950, menH582, and womenH802, and childrenH2945, and thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179, that they may hearH8085, and that they may learnH3925, and fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and observeH8104 to doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451:
And that their childrenH1121, which have not knownH3045 any thing, may hearH8085, and learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, as long asH3117 ye liveH2416 in the landH127 whither ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it.
And it shall be, when he sittethH3427 upon the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467, that he shall writeH3789 him a copyH4932 of this lawH8451 in a bookH5612 out of that which is beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 the LevitesH3881:
And it shall be with him, and he shall readH7121 therein all the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416: that he may learnH3925 to fearH3372 the LORDH3068 his GodH430, to keepH8104 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451 and these statutesH2706, to doH6213 them:
That his heartH3824 be not lifted upH7311 above his brethrenH251, and that he turn not asideH5493 from the commandmentH4687, to the right handH3225, or to the leftH8040: to the end that he may prolongH748 his daysH3117 in his kingdomH4467, he, and his childrenH1121, in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478.
Then ShaphanH8227 the scribeH5608 toldH5046 the kingH4428, sayingH559, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 hath givenH5414 me a bookH5612. And ShaphanH8227 readH7121 it beforeH6440 the kingH4428. {it: Heb. in it}
SayH559 unto the kingH4428 and to the queenH1377, HumbleH8213 yourselves, sit downH3427: for your principalitiesH4761 shall come downH3381, even the crownH5850 of your gloryH8597. {principalities: or, head tires}
And all the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 as oneH259 manH376 into the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179; and they spakeH559 unto EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 to bringH935 the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of MosesH4872, which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 to IsraelH3478.
And EzraH5830 the priestH3548 broughtH935 the lawH8451 beforeH6440 the congregationH6951 both of menH376 and womenH802, and all that could hearH8085 with understandingH995, upon the firstH259 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320. {that…: Heb. that understood in hearing}
And he readH7121 therein beforeH6440 the streetH7339 that was beforeH6440 the waterH4325 gateH8179 from the morningH216 until middayH4276+H3117, before the menH582 and the womenH802, and those that could understandH995; and the earsH241 of all the peopleH5971 were attentive unto the bookH5612 of the lawH8451. {from…: Heb. from the light}
And EzraH5830 the scribeH5608 stoodH5975 upon a pulpitH4026 of woodH6086, which they had madeH6213 for the purposeH1697; and besideH681 him stoodH5975 MattithiahH4993, and ShemaH8087, and AnaiahH6043, and UrijahH223, and HilkiahH2518, and MaaseiahH4641, on his right handH3225; and on his left handH8040, PedaiahH6305, and MishaelH4332, and MalchiahH4441, and HashumH2828, and HashbadanaH2806, ZechariahH2148, and MeshullamH4918. {pulpit…: Heb. tower of wood}
And EzraH5830 openedH6605 the bookH5612 in the sightH5869 of all the peopleH5971; (for he was above all the peopleH5971;) and when he openedH6605 it, all the peopleH5971 stood upH5975: {sight: Heb. eyes}
And EzraH5830 blessedH1288 the LORDH3068, the greatH1419 GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030, AmenH543, AmenH543, with lifting upH4607 their handsH3027: and they bowedH6915 their heads, and worshippedH7812 the LORDH3068 with their facesH639 to the groundH776.
Also JeshuaH3442, and BaniH1137, and SherebiahH8274, JaminH3226, AkkubH6126, ShabbethaiH7678, HodijahH1941, MaaseiahH4641, KelitaH7042, AzariahH5838, JozabadH3107, HananH2605, PelaiahH6411, and the LevitesH3881, caused the peopleH5971 to understandH995 the lawH8451: and the peopleH5971 stood in their placeH5977.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Go downH3381 to the houseH1004 of the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and speakH1696 there this wordH1697,
And they foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 which the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 byH3027 MosesH4872, that the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 should dwellH3427 in boothsH5521 in the feastH2282 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320: {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And sayH559, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O kingH4428 of JudahH3063, that sittestH3427 upon the throneH3678 of DavidH1732, thou, and thy servantsH5650, and thy peopleH5971 that enterH935 in by these gatesH8179:
And that they should publishH8085 and proclaimH5674+H6963 in all their citiesH5892, and in JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Go forthH3318 unto the mountH2022, and fetchH935 oliveH2132 branchesH5929, and pineH8081 branchesH6086+H5929, and myrtleH1918 branchesH5929, and palmH8558 branchesH5929, and branchesH5929 of thickH5687 treesH6086, to makeH6213 boothsH5521, as it is writtenH3789.
Also dayH3117 by dayH3117, from the firstH7223 dayH3117 unto the lastH314 dayH3117, he readH7121 in the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of GodH430. And they keptH6213 the feastH2282 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 was a solemn assemblyH6116, according unto the mannerH4941. {a solemn…: Heb. a restraint}
On that dayH3117 they readH7121 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872 in the audienceH241 of the peopleH5971; and therein was foundH4672 writtenH3789, that the AmmoniteH5984 and the MoabiteH4125 should not comeH935 into the congregationH6951 of GodH430 forH5704 everH5769; {they…: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}
Therefore goH935 thou, and readH7121 in the rollH4039, which thou hast writtenH3789 from my mouthH6310, the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971 in the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004 upon the fastingH6685 dayH3117: and also thou shalt readH7121 them in the earsH241 of all JudahH3063 that come outH935 of their citiesH5892.
