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}

SpeakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, If anyH376 manH376 of you or of your posterityH1755 shall be uncleanH2931 by reason of a dead bodyH5315, or be in a journeyH1870 afar offH7350, yet he shall keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068.
The fourteenthH702+H6240 dayH3117 of the secondH8145 monthH2320 at evenH6153 they shall keepH6213 it, and eatH398 it with unleavened breadH4682 and bitterH4844 herbs.
They shall leaveH7604 none of it unto the morningH1242, nor breakH7665 any boneH6106 of it: according to all the ordinancesH2708 of the passoverH6453 they shall keepH6213 it.
But the manH376 that is cleanH2889, and is not in a journeyH1870, and forbearethH2308 to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, even the same soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from among his peopleH5971: because he broughtH7126 not the offeringH7133 of the LORDH3068 in his appointed seasonH4150, that manH376 shall bearH5375 his sinH2399.
And if a strangerH1616 shall sojournH1481 among you, and will keepH6213 the passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068; according to the ordinanceH2708 of the passoverH6453, and according to the mannerH4941 thereof, so shall he doH6213: ye shall have oneH259 ordinanceH2708, both for the strangerH1616, and for him that was bornH249 in the landH776.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872 and AaronH175, This is the ordinanceH2708 of the passoverH6453: There shall no strangerH1121+H5236 eatH398 thereof:
But every man'sH376 servantH5650 that is boughtH4736 for moneyH3701, when thou hast circumcisedH4135 him, then shall he eatH398 thereof.
A foreignerH8453 and an hired servantH7916 shall not eatH398 thereof.
In oneH259 houseH1004 shall it be eatenH398; thou shalt not carry forthH3318 ought of the fleshH1320 abroadH2351 out of the houseH1004; neither shall ye breakH7665 a boneH6106 thereof.
All the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 shall keepH6213 it. {keep…: Heb. do it}
And when a strangerH1616 shall sojournH1481 with thee, and will keepH6213 the passoverH6453 to the LORDH3068, let all his malesH2145 be circumcisedH4135, and then let him come nearH7126 and keepH6213 it; and he shall be as one that is bornH249 in the landH776: for no uncircumcised personH6189 shall eatH398 thereof.
OneH259 lawH8451 shall be to him that is homebornH249, and unto the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481 amongH8432 you.
Thus didH6213 all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, so didH6213 they.
And it came to pass the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, that the LORDH3068 did bringH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 by their armiesH6635.
Now therefore restoreH7725 the manH376 his wifeH802; for he is a prophetH5030, and he shall prayH6419 for theeH1157, and thou shalt liveH2421: and if thou restoreH7725 her not, knowH3045 thou that thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, thou, and all that are thine.
HearkenH8085 therefore unto the supplicationsH8469 of thy servantH5650, and of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which they shall makeH6419 toward this placeH4725: hearH8085 thou from thy dwellingH3427 placeH4725, even from heavenH8064; and when thou hearestH8085, forgiveH5545. {make: Heb. pray}
But the manH376 that shall be uncleanH2930, and shall not purifyH2398 himself, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from amongH8432 the congregationH6951, because he hath defiledH2930 the sanctuaryH4720 of the LORDH3068: the waterH4325 of separationH5079 hath not been sprinkledH2236 upon him; he is uncleanH2931.
So AbrahamH85 prayedH6419 unto GodH430: and GodH430 healedH7495 AbimelechH40, and his wifeH802, and his maidservantsH519; and they bareH3205 children.
And the LORDH3068 passed byH5674 before himH6440, and proclaimedH7121, The LORDH3068, The LORDH3068 GodH410, mercifulH7349 and graciousH2587, longsufferingH750+H639, and abundantH7227 in goodnessH2617 and truthH571,
KeepingH5341 mercyH2617 for thousandsH505, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588 and sinH2403, and that will by no meansH5352 clearH5352 the guilty; visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121, and upon the children'sH1121 children, unto the thirdH8029 and to the fourthH7256 generation.
And MosesH4872 made hasteH4116, and bowed his headH6915 toward the earthH776, and worshippedH7812.
And he saidH559, If now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, O LordH136, let my LordH136, I pray thee, goH3212 amongH7130 us; for it is a stiffneckedH7186+H6203 peopleH5971; and pardonH5545 our iniquityH5771 and our sinH2403, and take us for thine inheritanceH5157.
ButG1161 letG1381 a manG444 examineG1381 himselfG1438, andG2532 soG3779 let him eatG2068 ofG1537 that breadG740, andG2532 drinkG4095 ofG1537 that cupG4221.
Therefore takeH3947 unto you now sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and goH3212 to my servantH5650 JobH347, and offer upH5927 for yourselves a burnt offeringH5930; and my servantH5650 JobH347 shall prayH6419 for you: for himH6440 will I acceptH5375: lest I dealH6213 with you after your follyH5039, in that ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing which is rightH3559, like my servantH5650 JobH347. {him: Heb. his face, or, person}
The LORDH3068 is longsufferingH750+H639, and of greatH7227 mercyH2617, forgivingH5375 iniquityH5771 and transgressionH6588, and by no meansH5352 clearingH5352 the guilty, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation.
PardonH5545, I beseech thee, the iniquityH5771 of this peopleH5971 according unto the greatnessH1433 of thy mercyH2617, and as thou hast forgivenH5375 this peopleH5971, from EgyptH4714 even until nowH2008. {until…: or, hitherto}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have pardonedH5545 according to thy wordH1697:
So EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747 and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284 wentH3212, and didH6213 according as the LORDH3068 commandedH1696 them: the LORDH3068 also acceptedH5375 JobH6440+H347. {Job: Heb. the face of Job}
GoodH2896 and uprightH3477 is the LORDH3068: therefore will he teachH3384 sinnersH2400 in the wayH1870.
AndG2532 the prayerG2171 of faithG4102 shall saveG4982 the sickG2577, andG2532 the LordG2962 shall raiseG1453 himG846 upG1453; and ifG2579 he haveG5600 committedG4160 sinsG266, they shall be forgivenG863 himG846.
Thy mercyH2617, O LORDH3068, is in the heavensH8064; and thy faithfulnessH530 reacheth unto the cloudsH7834.
ConfessG1843 your faultsG3900 one to anotherG240, andG2532 prayG2172 oneG240 forG5228 anotherG240, thatG3704 ye may be healedG2390. The effectual ferventG1754 prayerG1162 of a righteous manG1342 availethG2480 muchG4183.
For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.
IfG1437 any manG5100 seeG1492 hisG846 brotherG80 sinG264 a sinG266 which is notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288, he shall askG154, andG2532 he shall giveG1325 himG846 lifeG2222 for them that sinG264 notG3361 untoG4314 deathG2288. There isG2076 a sinG266 untoG4314 deathG2288: I do notG3756 sayG3004 thatG2443 he shall prayG2065 forG4012 itG1565.
