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 he also rebelledH4775 against kingH4428 NebuchadnezzarH5019, who had made him swearH7650 by GodH430: but he stiffenedH7185 his neckH6203, and hardenedH553 his heartH3824 from turningH7725 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
And all the princesH8269, and the mighty menH1368, and all the sonsH1121 likewise of kingH4428 DavidH1732, submitted themselvesH5414+H3027+H8478 unto SolomonH8010 the kingH4428. {submitted…: Heb. gave the hand under Solomon}
Thou shalt fearH3372 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and serveH5647 him, and shalt swearH7650 by his nameH8034.
Now hearH8085 me therefore, and deliverH7725 the captivesH7633 again, which ye have taken captiveH7617 of your brethrenH251: for the fierceH2740 wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 is upon you.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I have seenH7200 this peopleH5971, and, behold, it is a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971:
And they gaveH5414 their handsH3027 that they would put awayH3318 their wivesH802; and being guiltyH818, they offered a ramH352 of the flockH6629 for their trespassH819.
They have seenH7200 thy goingsH1979, O GodH430; even the goingsH1979 of my GodH410, my KingH4428, in the sanctuaryH6944.
Ye shall diligentlyH8104 keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his testimoniesH5713, and his statutesH2706, which he hath commandedH6680 thee.
And saidH559 unto them, Ye shall not bring inH935 the captivesH7633 hither: for whereas we have offendedH819 against the LORDH3068 already, ye intendH559 to addH3254 more to our sinsH2403 and to our trespassH819: for our trespassH819 is greatH7227, and there is fierceH2740 wrathH639 against IsraelH3478.
CircumciseH4135 therefore the foreskinH6190 of your heartH3824, and be no more stiffneckedH6203+H7185.
PrincesH2831 shall come outH857 of EgyptH4714; EthiopiaH3568 shall soon stretch outH7323 her handsH3027 unto GodH430.
And if it seem evilH7489 unto youH4310 to serveH5647 the LORDH3068, chooseH977 you this dayH3117 whomH5869 ye will serveH5647; whether the godsH430 which your fathersH1 servedH5647 that were on the other sideH5676 of the floodH5104, or the godsH430 of the AmoritesH567, in whose landH776 ye dwellH3427: but as for me and my houseH1004, we will serveH5647 the LORDH3068.
Now it is in mine heartH3824 to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that his fierceH2740 wrathH639 may turn awayH7725 from us.
ButG1161 toG4314 IsraelG2474 he saithG3004, AllG3650 day longG2250 I have stretched forthG1600 myG3450 handsG5495 untoG4314 a disobedientG544 andG2532 gainsayingG483 peopleG2992.
NeitherG3366 yield yeG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of unrighteousnessG93 unto sinG266: butG235 yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 unto GodG2316, asG5613 those that are aliveG2198 fromG1537 the deadG3498, andG2532 yourG5216 membersG3196 as instrumentsG3696 of righteousnessG1343 unto GodG2316. {instruments: Gr. arms, or, weapons}
ForG1063 sinG266 shallG2961 notG3756 have dominion overG2961 youG5216: forG1063 ye areG2075 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485.
WhatG5101 thenG3767? shall we sinG264, becauseG3754 we areG2070 notG3756 underG5259 the lawG3551, butG235 underG5259 graceG5485? God forbidG3361+G1096.
Know yeG1492 notG3756, thatG3754 to whomG3739 ye yieldG3936 yourselvesG1438 servantsG1401 toG1519 obeyG5218, his servantsG1401 ye areG2075 to whomG3739 ye obeyG5219; whetherG2273 of sinG266 untoG1519 deathG2288, orG2228 of obedienceG5218 untoG1519 righteousnessG1343?
ButG1161 GodG2316 be thankedG5485, thatG3754 ye wereG2258 the servantsG1401 of sinG266, butG1161 ye have obeyedG5219 fromG1537 the heartG2588 that formG5179 of doctrineG1322 whichG1519+G3739 was delivered youG3860. {which…: Gr. whereto ye were delivered}
BeingG1659 thenG1161 made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, ye became the servantsG1402 of righteousnessG1343.
I speakG3004 after the manner of menG442 becauseG1223 of the infirmityG769 of yourG5216 fleshG4561: forG1063 asG5618 ye have yieldedG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to uncleannessG167 andG2532 to iniquityG458 untoG1519 iniquityG458; even soG3779 nowG3568 yieldG3936 yourG5216 membersG3196 servantsG1401 to righteousnessG1343 untoG1519 holinessG38.
ThenG5119 saithG3004 JesusG2424 unto himG846, Get thee henceG5217, SatanG4567: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, Thou shalt worshipG4352 the LordG2962 thyG4675 GodG2316, andG2532 himG846 onlyG3441 shalt thou serveG3000.
Notwithstanding the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 not from the fiercenessH2740 of his greatH1419 wrathH639, wherewith his angerH639 was kindledH2734 against JudahH3063, because of all the provocationsH3708 that ManassehH4519 had provokedH3707 him withal. {provocations: Heb. angers}
IfG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, let him followG190 meG1698; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, thereG1563 shallG2071 alsoG2532 myG1699 servantG1249 beG2071+G2532: ifG1437 any manG5100 serveG1247 meG1698, himG846 willG5091 my FatherG3962 honourG5091.
He castH7971 upon them the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639, wrathH5678, and indignationH2195, and troubleH6869, by sendingH4917 evilH7451 angelsH4397 among them.
ButG1161 nowG3570 being made freeG1659 fromG575 sinG266, andG1161 become servantsG1402 to GodG2316, ye haveG2192 yourG5216 fruitG2590 untoG1519 holinessG38, andG1161 the endG5056 everlastingG166 lifeG2222.
ServantsG1401, obeyG5219 inG2596 all thingsG3956 your mastersG2962 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; notG3361 withG1722 eyeserviceG3787, asG5613 menpleasersG441; butG235 inG1722 singlenessG572 of heartG2588, fearingG5399 GodG2316:
AndG2532 whatsoeverG3956+G3748+G1437 ye doG4160, doG2038 it heartilyG1537+G5590, asG5613 to the LordG2962, andG2532 notG3756 unto menG444;
KnowingG1492 thatG3754 ofG575 the LordG2962 ye shall receiveG618 the rewardG469 of the inheritanceG2817: forG1063 ye serveG1398 the LordG2962 ChristG5547.
