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}

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.
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.
And when he had consultedH3289 with the peopleH5971, he appointedH5975 singersH7891 unto the LORDH3068, and that should praiseH1984 the beautyH1927 of holinessH6944, as they went outH3318 beforeH6440 the armyH2502, and to sayH559, PraiseH3034 the LORDH3068; for his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769. {that…: Heb. praisers}
PraiseH1984 him with the soundH8629 of the trumpetH7782: praiseH1984 him with the psalteryH5035 and harpH3658. {trumpet: or, cornet}
PraiseH1984 him with the timbrelH8596 and danceH4234: praiseH1984 him with stringed instrumentsH4482 and organsH5748. {dance: or, pipe}
PraiseH1984 him upon the loudH8088 cymbalsH6767: praiseH1984 him upon the high soundingH8643 cymbalsH6767.
SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavened breadH4682, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall be a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068.
And on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320 he sentH7971 the peopleH5971 awayH7971 into their tentsH168, gladH8056 and merryH2896 in heartH3820 for the goodnessH2896 that the LORDH3068 had shewedH6213 unto DavidH1732, and to SolomonH8010, and to IsraelH3478 his peopleH5971.
And he setH5975 the LevitesH3881 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 with cymbalsH4700, with psalteriesH5035, and with harpsH3658, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and of GadH1410 the king'sH4428 seerH2374, and NathanH5416 the prophetH5030: for so was the commandmentH4687 ofH3027 the LORDH3068 byH3027 his prophetsH5030. {commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LevitesH3881 stoodH5975 with the instrumentsH3627 of DavidH1732, and the priestsH3548 with the trumpetsH2689.
And HezekiahH2396 commandedH559 to offerH5927 the burnt offeringH5930 upon the altarH4196. And whenH6256 the burnt offeringH5930 beganH2490, the songH7892 of the LORDH3068 beganH2490 also with the trumpetsH2689, and with the instrumentsH3627 ordained byH3027 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. {when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}
And on the fifteenthH2568+H6240 dayH3117 of the same monthH2320 is the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 unto the LORDH3068: sevenH7651 daysH3117 ye must eatH398 unleavened breadH4682.
And there ye shall eatH398 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and ye shall rejoiceH8055 in all that ye putH4916 your handH3027 unto, ye and your householdsH1004, wherein the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath blessedH1288 thee.
NowG1161 the feastG1859 of unleavened breadG106 drew nighG1448, which is calledG3004 the PassoverG3957.
And ye shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, ye, and your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, and your menservantsH5650, and your maidservantsH519, and the LeviteH3881 that is within your gatesH8179; forasmuchH3588 as he hath no partH2506 nor inheritanceH5159 with you.
ThenG1161 cameG2064 the dayG2250 of unleavened breadG106, whenG1722+G3739 the passoverG3957 mustG1163 be killedG2380.
And thou shalt rejoiceH8055 in thy feastH2282, thou, and thy sonH1121, and thy daughterH1323, and thy manservantH5650, and thy maidservantH519, and the LeviteH3881, the strangerH1616, and the fatherlessH3490, and the widowH490, that are within thy gatesH8179.
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}
Then he saidH559 unto them, Go your wayH3212, eatH398 the fatH4924, and drinkH8354 the sweetH4477, and sendH7971 portionsH4490 unto them for whom nothing is preparedH3559: for this dayH3117 is holyH6918 unto our LordH113: neither be ye sorryH6087; for the joyH2304 of the LORDH3068 is your strengthH4581.
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}
