And HezekiahH3169 sentH7971 to all IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063, and wroteH3789 lettersH107 also to EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519, that they should comeH935 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 at JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
For the kingH4428 had taken counselH3289, and his princesH8269, and all the congregationH6951 in JerusalemH3389, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 in the secondH8145 monthH2320.
For they couldH3201 not keepH6213 it at that timeH6256, because the priestsH3548 had not sanctifiedH6942 themselves sufficientlyH4078+H1767, neither had the peopleH5971 gathered themselves togetherH622 to JerusalemH3389.
And the thingH1697 pleasedH3474+H5869 the kingH4428 and all the congregationH6951. {pleased…: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}
So they establishedH5975 a decreeH1697 to make proclamationH5674+H6963 throughout all IsraelH3478, from BeershebaH884 even to DanH1835, that they should comeH935 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 at JerusalemH3389: for they had not doneH6213 it of a longH7230 time in such sort as it was writtenH3789.
So 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 the LORDH3068 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. {from: Heb. from the hand}
And be not ye like your fathersH1, and like your brethrenH251, which trespassedH4603 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, who therefore gave them upH5414 to desolationH8047, as ye seeH7200.
Now be ye not stiffneckedH7185+H6203, as your fathersH1 were, but yieldH5414 yourselvesH3027 unto the LORDH3068, and enterH935 into his sanctuaryH4720, which he hath sanctifiedH6942 for everH5769: and serveH5647 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that the fiercenessH2740 of his wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from you. {be ye…: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield…: Heb. give the hand}
For if ye turn againH7725 unto the LORDH3068, your brethrenH251 and your childrenH1121 shall find compassionH7356 beforeH6440 them that lead them captiveH7617, so that they shall come againH7725 into this landH776: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, and will not turn awayH5493 his faceH6440 from you, if ye returnH7725 unto him.
So the postsH7323 passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832, and mockedH3932 them.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Also in JudahH3063 the handH3027 of GodH430 was to giveH5414 them oneH259 heartH3820 to doH6213 the commandmentH4687 of the kingH4428 and of the princesH8269, by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
And there assembledH622 at JerusalemH3389 muchH7227 peopleH5971 to keepH6213 the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 in the secondH8145 monthH2320, a veryH3966 greatH7230 congregationH6951.
And 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.
Then they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 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 the LORDH3068.
And 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. {their place: Heb. their standing}
For 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 the LORDH3068.
For 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 LORDH3068 pardonH3722 every one
That preparethH3559 his heartH3824 to seekH1875 GodH430, the LORDH3068 GodH430 of his fathersH1, though he be not cleansed according to the purificationH2893 of the sanctuaryH6944.
And the LORDH3068 hearkenedH8085 to HezekiahH3169, and healedH7495 the peopleH5971.
And 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 the LORDH3068 dayH3117 by dayH3117, singing with loudH5797 instrumentsH3627 unto the LORDH3068. {present: Heb. found} {loud…: Heb. instruments of strength}
And HezekiahH3169 spakeH1696 comfortablyH3820 unto all the LevitesH3881 that taughtH7919 the goodH2896 knowledgeH7922 of the LORDH3068: and they did eatH398 throughout the feastH4150 sevenH7651 daysH3117, offeringH2076 peaceH8002 offeringsH2077, and making confessionH3034 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1. {comfortably…: Heb. to the heart of all}
And the whole assemblyH6951 took counselH3289 to keepH6213 otherH312 sevenH7651 daysH3117: and they keptH6213 other sevenH7651 daysH3117 with gladnessH8057.
For 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. {did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered} {gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered}
And 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.
So 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.
Then 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. {his holy…: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}

And the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 that were in all IsraelH3478 resortedH3320 to him out of all their coastsH1366. {resorted…: Heb. presented themselves to him}
So the postsH7323 passedH5674 from cityH5892 to cityH5892 through the countryH776 of EphraimH669 and ManassehH4519 even unto ZebulunH2074: but they laughed them to scornH7832, and mockedH3932 them.
Thou shalt therefore sacrificeH2076 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, of the flockH6629 and the herdH1241, in the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 shall chooseH977 to placeH7931 his nameH8034 there.
Thou shalt eatH398 no leavened breadH2557 with it; sevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou eatH398 unleavened breadH4682 therewith, even the breadH3899 of afflictionH6040; for thou camest forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 in hasteH2649: that thou mayest rememberH2142 the dayH3117 when thou camest forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 all the daysH3117 of thy lifeH2416.
And there shall be no leavened breadH7603 seenH7200 with thee in all thy coastH1366 sevenH7651 daysH3117; neither shall there any thing of the fleshH1320, which thou sacrificedstH2076 the firstH7223 dayH3117 at evenH6153, remainH3885 all night until the morningH1242.
Thou mayestH3201 not sacrificeH2076 the passoverH6453 within anyH259 of thy gatesH8179, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee: {sacrifice: or, kill}
But at the placeH4725 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 shall chooseH977 to placeH7931 his nameH8034 in, there thou shalt sacrificeH2076 the passoverH6453 at evenH6153, at the going downH935 of the sunH8121, at the seasonH4150 that thou camest forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714.
SpeakH1696 ye unto all the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, In the tenthH6218 day of this monthH2320 they shall takeH3947 to them every manH376 a lambH7716, according to the houseH1004 of their fathersH1, a lambH7716 for an houseH1004: {lamb: or, kid}
And if the householdH1004 beH1961 too littleH4591 for the lambH7716, let him and his neighbourH7934 nextH7138 unto his houseH1004 takeH3947 it according to the numberH4373 of the soulsH5315; every manH376 accordingH6310 to his eatingH400 shall make your countH3699 for the lambH7716.
Your lambH7716 shall be without blemishH8549, a maleH2145 of the firstH1121 yearH8141: ye shall takeH3947 it out from the sheepH3532, or from the goatsH5795: {of…: Heb. son of a year}
And ye shall keepH4931 it up until the fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the same monthH2320: and the wholeH3605 assemblyH6951 of the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall killH7819 it inH996 the eveningH6153. {in…: Heb. between the two evenings}
And they shall takeH3947 of the bloodH1818, and strikeH5414 it on the twoH8147 side postsH4201 and on the upper door postH4947 of the housesH1004, wherein they shall eatH398 it.
And they shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 in that nightH3915, roastH6748 with fireH784, and unleavened breadH4682; and with bitterH4844 herbs they shall eatH398 it.
EatH398 not of it rawH4995, nor soddenH1310+H1311 at all with waterH4325, but roastH6748 with fireH784; his headH7218 with his legsH3767, and with the purtenanceH7130 thereof.
And ye shall let nothing of it remainH3498 until the morningH1242; and that which remainethH3498 of it until the morningH1242 ye shall burnH8313 with fireH784.
And thusH3602 shall ye eatH398 it; with your loinsH4975 girdedH2296, your shoesH5275 on your feetH7272, and your staffH4731 in your handH3027; and ye shall eatH398 it in hasteH2649: it is the LORD'SH3068 passoverH6453.
For I will passH5674 through the landH776 of EgyptH4714 this nightH3915, and will smiteH5221 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both manH120 and beastH929; and against all the godsH430 of EgyptH4714 I will executeH6213 judgmentH8201: I am the LORDH3068. {gods: or, princes}
And the bloodH1818 shall be to you for a tokenH226 upon the housesH1004 where ye are: and when I seeH7200 the bloodH1818, I will passH6452 over you, and the plagueH5063 shall not be upon you to destroyH4889 you, when I smiteH5221 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {to destroy…: Heb. for a destruction}
And this dayH3117 shall be unto you for a memorialH2146; and ye shall keepH2287 it a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068 throughout your generationsH1755; ye shall keep it a feastH2287 by an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall ye eatH398 unleavened breadH4682; evenH389 the firstH7223 dayH3117 ye shall put awayH7673 leavenH7603 out of your housesH1004: for whosoever eatethH398 leavened breadH2557 from the firstH7223 dayH3117 until the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from IsraelH3478.
And in the firstH7223 dayH3117 there shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be an holyH6944 convocationH4744 to you; no manner of workH4399 shall be doneH6213 in them, saveH389 that which every manH5315 must eatH398, that only may be doneH6213 of you. {man: Heb. soul}
And ye shall observeH8104 the feast of unleavened breadH4682; for in this selfsameH6106 dayH3117 have I broughtH3318 your armiesH6635 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714: therefore shall ye observeH8104 this dayH3117 in your generationsH1755 by an ordinanceH2708 for everH5769.
In the firstH7223 month, on the fourteenthH6240+H702 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153, ye shall eatH398 unleavened breadH4682, until the oneH259 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH6153.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 shall there be no leavenH7603 foundH4672 in your housesH1004: for whosoever eatethH398 that which is leavenedH2556, even that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, whether he be a strangerH1616, or bornH249 in the landH776.
Ye shall eatH398 nothing leavenedH2556; in all your habitationsH4186 shall ye eatH398 unleavened breadH4682.
And afterH310 them out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 such as setH5414 their heartsH3824 to seekH1245 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to JerusalemH3389, to sacrificeH2076 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1.
Nevertheless diversH582 of AsherH836 and ManassehH4519 and of ZebulunH2074 humbledH3665 themselves, and cameH935 to JerusalemH3389.
Purge outG1571 thereforeG3767 the oldG3820 leavenG2219, thatG2443 ye may beG5600 a newG3501 lumpG5445, asG2531 ye areG2075 unleavenedG106. ForG1063 evenG2532 ChristG5547 ourG2257 passoverG3957 is sacrificedG2380 forG5228 usG2257: {is sacrificed: or, is slain}
But there cameH935 a manH376 of GodH430 to him, sayingH559, O kingH4428, let not the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478 goH935 with thee; for the LORDH3068 is not with IsraelH3478, to wit, with all the childrenH1121 of EphraimH669.
ThereforeG5620 let us keep the feastG1858, notG3361 withG1722 oldG3820 leavenG2219, neitherG3366 withG1722 the leavenG2219 of maliceG2549 andG2532 wickednessG4189; butG235 withG1722 the unleavenedG106 bread of sincerityG1505 andG2532 truthG225. {the feast: or, holyday}
So killH7819 the passoverH6453, and sanctifyH6942 yourselves, and prepareH3559 your brethrenH251, that they may doH6213 according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
They will not frameH5414 their doingsH4611 to turnH7725 unto their GodH430: for the spiritH7307 of whoredomsH2183 is in the midstH7130 of them, and they have not knownH3045 the LORDH3068. {They will…: or, Their doings will not suffer them} {frame: Heb. give}
EphraimH669, he hath mixedH1101 himself among the peopleH5971; EphraimH669 is a cakeH5692 not turnedH2015.
