2CHR29.htm 2CHR31.htm30:1 And Hezekiah [H3169] sent [H7971] to all Israel [H3478] and Judah [H3063] , and wrote [H3789] letters [H107] also to Ephraim [H669] and Manasseh [H4519] , that they should come [H935] to the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] at Jerusalem [H3389] , to keep [H6213] the passover [H6453] unto the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] .
30:2 For the king [H4428] had taken counsel [H3289] , and his princes [H8269] , and all the congregation [H6951] in Jerusalem [H3389] , to keep [H6213] the passover [H6453] in the second [H8145] month [H2320] .
30:3 For they could [H3201] not keep [H6213] it at that time [H6256] , because the priests [H3548] had not sanctified [H6942] themselves sufficiently [H4078] [H1767] , neither had the people [H5971] gathered themselves together [H622] to Jerusalem [H3389] .
30:4 And the thing [H1697] pleased [H3474] [H5869] the king [H4428] and all the congregation [H6951] .(pleased: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king)
30:5 So they established [H5975] a decree [H1697] to make proclamation [H5674] [H6963] throughout all Israel [H3478] , from Beersheba [H884] even to Dan [H1835] , that they should come [H935] to keep [H6213] the passover [H6453] unto the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Israel [H3478] at Jerusalem [H3389] : for they had not done [H6213] [it] of a long [H7230] [time in such sort] as it was written [H3789] .
30:6 So the posts [H7323] went [H3212] with the letters [H107] from [H3027] the king [H4428] and his princes [H8269] throughout all Israel [H3478] and Judah [H3063] , and according to the commandment [H4687] of the king [H4428] , saying [H559] , Ye children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] , turn again [H7725] unto the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of Abraham [H85] , Isaac [H3327] , and Israel [H3478] , and he will return [H7725] to the remnant [H7604] of you, that are escaped [H6413] out of the hand [H3709] of the kings [H4428] of Assyria [H804] .(from: Heb. from the hand)
30:7 And be not ye like your fathers [H1] , and like your brethren [H251] , which trespassed [H4603] against the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of their fathers [H1] , [who] therefore gave them up [H5414] to desolation [H8047] , as ye see [H7200] .
30:8 Now be ye not stiffnecked [H7185] [H6203] , as your fathers [H1] [were, but] yield [H5414] yourselves [H3027] unto the LORD [H3068] , and enter [H935] into his sanctuary [H4720] , which he hath sanctified [H6942] for ever [H5769] : and serve [H5647] the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] , that the fierceness [H2740] of his wrath [H639] may turn away [H7725] from you.(be ye: Heb. harden not your necks)(yield: Heb. give the hand)
30:9 For if ye turn again [H7725] unto the LORD [H3068] , your brethren [H251] and your children [H1121] [shall find] compassion [H7356] before [H6440] them that lead them captive [H7617] , so that they shall come again [H7725] into this land [H776] : for the LORD [H3068] your God [H430] [is] gracious [H2587] and merciful [H7349] , and will not turn away [H5493] [his] face [H6440] from you, if ye return [H7725] unto him.
30:10 So the posts [H7323] passed [H5674] from city [H5892] to city [H5892] through the country [H776] of Ephraim [H669] and Manasseh [H4519] even unto Zebulun [H2074] : but they laughed them to scorn [H7832] , and mocked [H3932] them.
30:11 Nevertheless divers [H582] of Asher [H836] and Manasseh [H4519] and of Zebulun [H2074] humbled [H3665] themselves, and came [H935] to Jerusalem [H3389] .
30:12 Also in Judah [H3063] the hand [H3027] of God [H430] was to give [H5414] them one [H259] heart [H3820] to do [H6213] the commandment [H4687] of the king [H4428] and of the princes [H8269] , by the word [H1697] of the LORD [H3068] .
30:13 And there assembled [H622] at Jerusalem [H3389] much [H7227] people [H5971] to keep [H6213] the feast [H2282] of unleavened bread [H4682] in the second [H8145] month [H2320] , a very [H3966] great [H7230] congregation [H6951] .
30:14 And they arose [H6965] and took away [H5493] the altars [H4196] that [were] in Jerusalem [H3389] , and all the altars for incense [H6999] took they away [H5493] , and cast [H7993] [them] into the brook [H5158] Kidron [H6939] .
30:15 Then they killed [H7819] the passover [H6453] on the fourteenth [H702] [H6240] [day] of the second [H8145] month [H2320] : and the priests [H3548] and the Levites [H3881] were ashamed [H3637] , and sanctified [H6942] themselves, and brought in [H935] the burnt offerings [H5930] into the house [H1004] of the LORD [H3068] .
30:16 And they stood [H5975] in their place [H5977] after their manner [H4941] , according to the law [H8451] of Moses [H4872] the man [H376] of God [H430] : the priests [H3548] sprinkled [H2236] the blood [H1818] , [which they received] of the hand [H3027] of the Levites [H3881] .(their place: Heb. their standing)
30:17 For [there were] many [H7227] in the congregation [H6951] that were not sanctified [H6942] : therefore the Levites [H3881] had the charge of the killing [H7821] of the passovers [H6453] for every one [that was] not clean [H2889] , to sanctify [H6942] [them] unto the LORD [H3068] .
30:18 For a multitude [H4768] of the people [H5971] , [even] many [H7227] of Ephraim [H669] , and Manasseh [H4519] , Issachar [H3485] , and Zebulun [H2074] , had not [H3808] cleansed [H2891] themselves, yet did they eat [H398] the passover [H6453] otherwise than it was written [H3789] . But Hezekiah [H3169] prayed [H6419] for them, saying [H559] , The good [H2896] LORD [H3068] pardon [H3722] every one
30:19 [That] prepareth [H3559] his heart [H3824] to seek [H1875] God [H430] , the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of his fathers [H1] , though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification [H2893] of the sanctuary [H6944] .
30:20 And the LORD [H3068] hearkened [H8085] to Hezekiah [H3169] , and healed [H7495] the people [H5971] .
30:21 And the children [H1121] of Israel [H3478] that were present [H4672] at Jerusalem [H3389] kept [H6213] the feast [H2282] of unleavened bread [H4682] seven [H7651] days [H3117] with great [H1419] gladness [H8057] : and the Levites [H3881] and the priests [H3548] praised [H1984] the LORD [H3068] day [H3117] by day [H3117] , [singing] with loud [H5797] instruments [H3627] unto the LORD [H3068] .(present: Heb. found)(loud: Heb. instruments of strength)
30:22 And Hezekiah [H3169] spake [H1696] comfortably [H3820] unto all the Levites [H3881] that taught [H7919] the good [H2896] knowledge [H7922] of the LORD [H3068] : and they did eat [H398] throughout the feast [H4150] seven [H7651] days [H3117] , offering [H2076] peace [H8002] offerings [H2077] , and making confession [H3034] to the LORD [H3068] God [H430] of their fathers [H1] .(comfortably: Heb. to the heart of all)
30:23 And the whole assembly [H6951] took counsel [H3289] to keep [H6213] other [H312] seven [H7651] days [H3117] : and they kept [H6213] [other] seven [H7651] days [H3117] with gladness [H8057] .
30:24 For Hezekiah [H2396] king [H4428] of Judah [H3063] did give [H7311] to the congregation [H6951] a thousand [H505] bullocks [H6499] and seven [H7651] thousand [H505] sheep [H6629] ; and the princes [H8269] gave [H7311] to the congregation [H6951] a thousand [H505] bullocks [H6499] and ten [H6235] thousand [H505] sheep [H6629] : and a great number [H7230] of priests [H3548] sanctified [H6942] themselves.(did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered)(gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered)
30:25 And all the congregation [H6951] of Judah [H3063] , with the priests [H3548] and the Levites [H3881] , and all the congregation [H6951] that came out [H935] of Israel [H3478] , and the strangers [H1616] that came out [H935] of the land [H776] of Israel [H3478] , and that dwelt [H3427] in Judah [H3063] , rejoiced [H8055] .
30:26 So there was great [H1419] joy [H8057] in Jerusalem [H3389] : for since the time [H3117] of Solomon [H8010] the son [H1121] of David [H1732] king [H4428] of Israel [H3478] [there was] not the like in Jerusalem [H3389] .
30:27 Then the priests [H3548] the Levites [H3881] arose [H6965] and blessed [H1288] the people [H5971] : and their voice [H6963] was heard [H8085] , and their prayer [H8605] came [H935] [up] to his holy [H6944] dwelling place [H4583] , [even] unto heaven [H8064] .(his holy: Heb. the habitation of his holiness)
