Moreover JosiahH2977 keptH6213 a passoverH6453 unto the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389: and they killedH7819 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenthH702+H6240 day of the firstH7223 monthH2320.
And he setH5975 the priestsH3548 in their chargesH4931, and encouragedH2388 them to the serviceH5656 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
And saidH559 unto the LevitesH3881 that taughtH995+H4000 all IsraelH3478, which were holyH6918 unto the LORDH3068, PutH5414 the holyH6944 arkH727 in the houseH1004 which SolomonH8010 the sonH1121 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 did buildH1129; it shall not be a burdenH4853 upon your shouldersH3802: serveH5647 now the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and his peopleH5971 IsraelH3478,
And prepareH3559+H3559 yourselves by the housesH1004 of your fathersH1, after your coursesH4256, according to the writingH3791 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, and according to the writingH4385 of SolomonH8010 his sonH1121.
And stand inH5975 the holyH6944 place according to the divisionsH6391 of the familiesH1004 of the fathersH1 of your brethrenH251 the peopleH1121+H5971, and after the divisionH2515 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the LevitesH3881. {the families of the fathers: Heb. the house of the fathers} {the people: Heb. the sons of the people}
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.
And JosiahH2977 gaveH7311 to the peopleH1121+H5971, of the flockH6629, lambsH3532 and kidsH1121+H5795, all for the passover offeringsH6453, for all that were presentH4672, to the numberH4557 of thirtyH7970 thousandH505, and threeH7969 thousandH505 bullocksH1241: these were of the king'sH4428 substanceH7399. {gave: Heb. offered}
And his princesH8269 gaveH7311 willinglyH5071 unto the peopleH5971, to the priestsH3548, and to the LevitesH3881: HilkiahH2518 and ZechariahH2148 and JehielH3171, rulersH5057 of the houseH1004 of GodH430, gaveH5414 unto the priestsH3548 for the passover offeringsH6453 two thousandH505 and sixH8337 hundredH3967 small cattle, and threeH7969 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave willingly: Heb. offered, etc}
ConaniahH3562 also, and ShemaiahH8098 and NethaneelH5417, his brethrenH251, and HashabiahH2811 and JeielH3273 and JozabadH3107, chiefH8269 of the LevitesH3881, gaveH7311 unto the LevitesH3881 for passover offeringsH6453 fiveH2568 thousandH505 small cattle, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 oxenH1241. {gave: Heb. offered}
So the serviceH5656 was preparedH3559, and the priestsH3548 stoodH5975 in their placeH5977, and the LevitesH3881 in their coursesH4256, according to the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687.
And they killedH7819 the passoverH6453, and the priestsH3548 sprinkledH2236 the blood from their handsH3027, and the LevitesH3881 flayedH6584 them.
And they removedH5493 the burnt offeringsH5930, that they might giveH5414 according to the divisionsH4653 of the familiesH1+H1004 of the peopleH1121+H5971, to offerH7126 unto the LORDH3068, as it is writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of MosesH4872. And so did they with the oxenH1241.
And they roastedH1310 the passoverH6453 with fireH784 according to the ordinanceH4941: but the other holyH6944 offerings sodH1310 they in potsH5518, and in caldronsH1731, and in pansH6745, and divided them speedilyH7323 among all the peopleH1121+H5971. {divided…: Heb. made them run}
And afterwardH310 they made readyH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548: because the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175 were busied in offeringH5927 of burnt offeringsH5930 and the fatH2459 until nightH3915; therefore the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for themselves, and for the priestsH3548 the sonsH1121 of AaronH175.
And the singersH7891 the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623 were in their placeH4612, according to the commandmentH4687 of DavidH1732, and AsaphH623, and HemanH1968, and JeduthunH3038 the king'sH4428 seerH2374; and the portersH7778 waited at every gateH8179; they might not departH5493 from their serviceH5656; for their brethrenH251 the LevitesH3881 preparedH3559 for them. {place: Heb. station}
So all the serviceH5656 of the LORDH3068 was preparedH3559 the same dayH3117, to keepH6213 the passoverH6453, and to offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 upon the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068, according to the commandmentH4687 of kingH4428 JosiahH2977.
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672 keptH6213 the passoverH6453 at that timeH6256, and the feastH2282 of unleavened breadH4682 sevenH7651 daysH3117. {present: Heb. found}
And there was no passoverH6453 likeH3644 to that keptH6213 in IsraelH3478 from the daysH3117 of SamuelH8050 the prophetH5030; neither didH6213 all the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 keepH6213 such a passoverH6453 as JosiahH2977 keptH6213, and the priestsH3548, and the LevitesH3881, and all JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478 that were presentH4672, and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. {present: Heb. found}
In the eighteenthH8083+H6240 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of JosiahH2977 was this passoverH6453 keptH6213.
AfterH310 all this, when JosiahH2977 had preparedH3559 the templeH1004, NechoH5224 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 came upH5927 to fightH3898 against CarchemishH3751 by EuphratesH6578: and JosiahH2977 went outH3318 againstH7125 him. {temple: Heb. house}
But he sentH7971 ambassadorsH4397 to him, sayingH559, What have I to do with thee, thou kingH4428 of JudahH3063? I come not against thee this dayH3117, but against the houseH1004 wherewith I have warH4421: for GodH430 commandedH559 me to make hasteH926: forbearH2308 thee from meddling with GodH430, who is with me, that he destroyH7843 thee not. {the house…: Heb. the house of my war}
Nevertheless JosiahH2977 would not turnH5437 his faceH6440 from him, but disguisedH2664 himself, that he might fightH3898 with him, and hearkenedH8085 not unto the wordsH1697 of NechoH5224 from the mouthH6310 of GodH430, and cameH935 to fightH3898 in the valleyH1237 of MegiddoH4023.
And the archersH3384 shotH3384 at kingH4428 JosiahH2977; and the kingH4428 saidH559 to his servantsH5650, Have me awayH5674; for I am soreH3966 woundedH2470. {wounded: Heb. made sick}
His servantsH5650 therefore tookH5674 him out of that chariotH4818, and putH7392 him in the secondH4932 chariotH7393 that he had; and they broughtH3212 him to JerusalemH3389, and he diedH4191, and was buriedH6912 in one of the sepulchresH6913 of his fathersH1. And all JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 mournedH56 for JosiahH2977. {in one…: or, among the sepulchres}
And JeremiahH3414 lamentedH6969 for JosiahH2977: and all the singing menH7891 and the singing womenH7891 spakeH559 of JosiahH2977 in their lamentationsH7015 to this dayH3117, and madeH5414 them an ordinanceH2706 in IsraelH3478: and, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the lamentationsH7015.
Now the restH3499 of the actsH1697 of JosiahH2977, and his goodnessH2617, according to that which was writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, {goodness: Heb. kindnesses}
And his deedsH1697, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the kingsH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JudahH3063.

And SolomonH8010 brought upH5927 the daughterH1323 of PharaohH6547 out of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 unto the houseH1004 that he had builtH1129 for her: for he saidH559, My wifeH802 shall not dwellH3427 in the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, because the places are holyH6944, whereunto the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 hath comeH935. {holy: Heb. holiness}
And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, to the oracleH1687 of the houseH1004, into the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742:
And when AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 have made an endH3615 of coveringH3680 the sanctuaryH6944, and all the vesselsH3627 of the sanctuaryH6944, as the campH4264 is to set forwardH5265; afterH310 that, the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 shall comeH935 to bearH5375 it: but they shall not touchH5060 any holy thingH6944, lest they dieH4191. These things are the burdenH4853 of the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150.
And to the officeH6486 of EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548 pertaineth the oilH8081 for the lightH3974, and the sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and the dailyH8548 meat offeringH4503, and the anointingH4888 oilH8081, and the oversightH6486 of all the tabernacleH4908, and of all that therein is, in the sanctuaryH6944, and in the vesselsH3627 thereof.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, sayingH559,
Cut ye not offH3772 the tribeH7626 of the familiesH4940 of the KohathitesH6956 from amongH8432 the LevitesH3881:
But thus doH6213 unto them, that they may liveH2421, and not dieH4191, when they approachH5066 unto the mostH6944 holy thingsH6944: AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall go inH935, and appointH7760 them everyH376 oneH376 to his serviceH5656 and to his burdenH4853:
But they shall not go inH935 to seeH7200 when the holy thingsH6944 are coveredH1104, lest they dieH4191.
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559,
TakeH5375 also the sumH7218 of the sonsH1121 of GershonH1648, throughout the housesH1004 of their fathersH1, by their familiesH4940;
From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 until fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shalt thou numberH6485 them; all that enter inH935 to performH6633 the serviceH6635, to doH5647 the workH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {to perform…: Heb. to war the warfare}
This is the serviceH5656 of the familiesH4940 of the GershonitesH1649, to serveH5647, and for burdensH4853: {burdens: or, carriage}
And they shall bearH5375 the curtainsH3407 of the tabernacleH4908, and the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, his coveringH4372, and the coveringH4372 of the badgers'H8476 skins that is aboveH4605 upon it, and the hangingH4539 for the doorH6607 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150,
And the hangingsH7050 of the courtH2691, and the hangingH4539 for the doorH6607 of the gateH8179 of the courtH2691, which is by the tabernacleH4908 and by the altarH4196 round aboutH5439, and their cordsH4340, and all the instrumentsH3627 of their serviceH5656, and all that is madeH6213 for them: so shall they serveH5647.
At the appointmentH6310 of AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 shall be all the serviceH5656 of the sonsH1121 of the GershonitesH1649, in all their burdensH4853, and in all their serviceH5656: and ye shall appointH6485 unto them in chargeH4931 all their burdensH4853. {appointment: Heb. mouth}
This is the serviceH5656 of the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of GershonH1649 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150: and their chargeH4931 shall be under the handH3027 of IthamarH385 the sonH1121 of AaronH175 the priestH3548.
As for the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, thou shalt numberH6485 them after their familiesH4940, by the houseH1004 of their fathersH1;
From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 even unto fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121 shalt thou numberH6485 them, every one that enterethH935 into the serviceH6635, to doH5647 the workH5656 of the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150. {service: Heb. warfare}
And this is the chargeH4931 of their burdenH4853, according to all their serviceH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150; the boardsH7175 of the tabernacleH4908, and the barsH1280 thereof, and the pillarsH5982 thereof, and socketsH134 thereof,
And the pillarsH5982 of the courtH2691 round aboutH5439, and their socketsH134, and their pinsH3489, and their cordsH4340, with all their instrumentsH3627, and with all their serviceH5656: and by nameH8034 ye shall reckonH6485 the instrumentsH3627 of the chargeH4931 of their burdenH4853.

From thirtyH7970 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and upwardH4605 even unto fiftyH2572 yearsH8141 oldH1121, every one that enterethH935 into the serviceH6635, for the workH5656 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150:
And those that were numberedH6485 of them by their familiesH4940 were two thousandH505 sevenH7651 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572.
These were they that were numberedH6485 of the familiesH4940 of the KohathitesH6956, all that might do serviceH5647 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, which MosesH4872 and AaronH175 did numberH6485 according to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.

Even those that were numberedH6485 of them after their familiesH4940, were threeH7969 thousandH505 and two hundredH3967.
These be those that were numberedH6485 of the familiesH4940 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, whom MosesH4872 and AaronH175 numberedH6485 according to the wordH6310 of the LORDH3068 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872.
All those that were numberedH6485 of the LevitesH3881, whom MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and the chiefH5387 of IsraelH3478 numberedH6485, after their familiesH4940, and after the houseH1004 of their fathersH1,

Even those that were numberedH6485 of them, were eightH8083 thousandH505 and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 and fourscoreH8084.
According to the commandmentH6310 of the LORDH3068 they were numberedH6485 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872, everyH376 oneH376 according to his serviceH5656, and according to his burdenH4853: thus were they numberedH6485 of him, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
And I have givenH5414 the LevitesH3881 as a giftH5414 to AaronH175 and to his sonsH1121 from amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the tabernacleH168 of the congregationH4150, and to make an atonementH3722 for the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: that there be no plagueH5063 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 come nighH5066 unto the sanctuaryH6944. {a gift: Heb. given}
And they taughtH3925 in JudahH3063, and had the bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 with them, and went aboutH5437 throughout all the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063, and taughtH3925 the peopleH5971.
And when they brought outH3318 the moneyH3701 that was brought intoH935 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, HilkiahH2518 the priestH3548 foundH4672 a bookH5612 of the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 given byH3027 MosesH4872. {by: Heb. by the hand of}
And also unto the LevitesH3881; they shall no more carryH5375 the tabernacleH4908, nor any vesselsH3627 of it for the serviceH5656 thereof.
Seemeth it but a small thingH4592 unto you, that the GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath separatedH914 you from the congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478, to bring you nearH7126 to himself to doH5647 the serviceH5656 of the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068, and to standH5975 beforeH6440 the congregationH5712 to ministerH8334 unto them?
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 he hath brought thee nearH7126 to him, and all thy brethrenH251 the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 with thee: and seekH1245 ye the priesthoodH3550 also?
They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, and IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: they shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH639 thee, and whole burnt sacrificeH3632 upon thine altarH4196. {They shall teach: or, Let them teach} {they shall put: or, let them put} {before…: Heb. at thy nose}
ForG1063 we preachG2784 notG3756 ourselvesG1438, butG235 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 the LordG2962; andG1161 ourselvesG1438 yourG5216 servantsG1401 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223.
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.
