And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and wrote³⁷⁸⁹ letters¹⁰⁷ also to Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ that they should come⁹³⁵ to the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ at Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

For the king⁴⁴²⁸ had taken counsel,³²⁸⁹ and his princes,⁸²⁶⁹ and all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month.²³²⁰

Numbers 9:9-14

For they could³²⁰¹ not keep⁶²¹³ it at that time,⁶²⁵⁶ because the priests³⁵⁴⁸ had not sanctified⁶⁹⁴² themselves sufficiently,⁴⁰⁷⁸ neither had the people⁵⁹⁷¹ gathered⁶²² themselves together to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

And the thing¹⁶⁹⁷ pleased³⁴⁷⁴ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and⁵⁸⁶⁹ all the congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

So they established⁵⁹⁷⁵ a decree¹⁶⁹⁷ to make proclamation⁵⁶⁷⁴ throughout all Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ from Beersheba⁸⁸⁴ even to Dan,¹⁸³⁵ that they should come⁹³⁵ to keep⁶²¹³ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ at Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for they had not done⁶²¹³ it of a long⁷²³⁰ time in such sort as it was written.³⁷⁸⁹

So the posts⁷³²³ went³²¹² with the letters¹⁰⁷ from³⁰²⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ and his princes⁸²⁶⁹ throughout all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Judah,³⁰⁶³ and according to the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Ye children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and he will return⁷⁷²⁵ to the remnant⁷⁶⁰⁴ of you, that are escaped⁶⁴¹³ out of the hand³⁷⁰⁹ of the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

And be not ye like your fathers,¹ and like your brethren,²⁵¹ which trespassed⁴⁶⁰³ against Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of their fathers,¹ who therefore gave them up⁵⁴¹⁴ to desolation,⁸⁰⁴⁷ as ye see.⁷²⁰⁰

Now be ye not stiffnecked,⁷¹⁸⁵ as your fathers¹ were, but yield⁵⁴¹⁴ yourselves³⁰²⁷ unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and enter⁹³⁵ into his sanctuary,⁴⁷²⁰ which he hath sanctified⁶⁹⁴² for ever:⁵⁷⁶⁹ and serve⁵⁶⁴⁷ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim,⁴³⁰ that the fierceness²⁷⁴⁰ of his wrath⁶³⁹ may turn away⁷⁷²⁵ from you.

For if ye turn again⁷⁷²⁵ unto Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ your brethren²⁵¹ and your children¹¹²¹ shall find compassion⁷³⁵⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ them that lead them captive,⁷⁶¹⁷ so that they shall come again⁷⁷²⁵ into this land:⁷⁷⁶ for Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ your Elohim⁴³⁰ is gracious²⁵⁸⁷ and merciful,⁷³⁴⁹ and will not turn away⁵⁴⁹³ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ from you, if ye return⁷⁷²⁵ unto him.

So the posts⁷³²³ passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ from city⁵⁸⁹² to city⁵⁸⁹² through the country⁷⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ even unto Zebulun:²⁰⁷⁴ but they laughed them to scorn,⁷⁸³² and mocked³⁹³² them.

Nevertheless divers⁵⁸² of Asher⁸³⁶ and Manasseh⁴⁵¹⁹ and of Zebulun²⁰⁷⁴ humbled³⁶⁶⁵ themselves, and came⁹³⁵ to Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

Also in Judah³⁰⁶³ the hand³⁰²⁷ of Elohim⁴³⁰ was to give⁵⁴¹⁴ them one²⁵⁹ heart³⁸²⁰ to do⁶²¹³ the commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ and of the princes,⁸²⁶⁹ by the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And there assembled⁶²² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ much⁷²²⁷ people⁵⁹⁷¹ to keep⁶²¹³ the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² in the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month,²³²⁰ a very³⁹⁶⁶ great⁷²³⁰ congregation.⁶⁹⁵¹

And they arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and took away⁵⁴⁹³ the altars⁴¹⁹⁶ that were in Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ and all the altars for incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ took they away,⁵⁴⁹³ and cast⁷⁹⁹³ them into the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kidron.⁶⁹³⁹

Then they killed⁷⁸¹⁹ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ on the fourteenth⁷⁰² day of the second⁸¹⁴⁵ month:²³²⁰ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ were ashamed,³⁶³⁷ and sanctified⁶⁹⁴² themselves, and brought in⁹³⁵ the burnt offerings⁵⁹³⁰ into the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And they stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in their place⁵⁹⁷⁷ after their manner,⁴⁹⁴¹ according to the law⁸⁴⁵¹ of Moses⁴⁸⁷² the man³⁷⁶ of Elohim:⁴³⁰ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ sprinkled²²³⁶ the blood,¹⁸¹⁸ which they received of the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Levites.³⁸⁸¹

For there were many⁷²²⁷ in the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that were not sanctified:⁶⁹⁴² therefore the Levites³⁸⁸¹ had the charge of the killing⁷⁸²¹ of the passovers⁶⁴⁵³ for every one that was not clean,²⁸⁸⁹ to sanctify⁶⁹⁴² them unto Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

For a multitude⁴⁷⁶⁸ of the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ even many⁷²²⁷ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ and Manasseh,⁴⁵¹⁹ Issachar,³⁴⁸⁵ and Zebulun,²⁰⁷⁴ had not³⁸⁰⁸ cleansed²⁸⁹¹ themselves, yet did they eat³⁹⁸ the passover⁶⁴⁵³ otherwise³⁸⁰⁸ than it was written.³⁷⁸⁹ But Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ prayed⁶⁴¹⁹ for them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The good²⁸⁹⁶ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ pardon³⁷²² every one

That prepareth³⁵⁵⁹ his heart³⁸²⁴ to seek¹⁸⁷⁵ Elohim,⁴³⁰ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of his fathers,¹ though he be not cleansed according to the purification²⁸⁹³ of the sanctuary.⁶⁹⁴⁴

And Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hearkened⁸⁰⁸⁵ to Hezekiah,³¹⁶⁹ and healed⁷⁴⁹⁵ the people.⁵⁹⁷¹

And the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that were present⁴⁶⁷² at Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ kept⁶²¹³ the feast²²⁸² of unleavened bread⁴⁶⁸² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with great¹⁴¹⁹ gladness:⁸⁰⁵⁷ and the Levites³⁸⁸¹ and the priests³⁵⁴⁸ praised¹⁹⁸⁴ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ day³¹¹⁷ by day,³¹¹⁷ singing with loud⁵⁷⁹⁷ instruments³⁶²⁷ unto Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

And Hezekiah³¹⁶⁹ spake¹⁶⁹⁶ comfortably³⁸²⁰ unto all the Levites³⁸⁸¹ that taught⁷⁹¹⁹ the good²⁸⁹⁶ knowledge⁷⁹²² of Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ and they did eat³⁹⁸ throughout the feast⁴¹⁵⁰ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days,³¹¹⁷ offering²⁰⁷⁶ peace⁸⁰⁰² offerings,²⁰⁷⁷ and making confession³⁰³⁴ to Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of their fathers.¹

And the whole assembly⁶⁹⁵¹ took counsel³²⁸⁹ to keep⁶²¹³ other³¹² seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days:³¹¹⁷ and they kept⁶²¹³ other seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days³¹¹⁷ with gladness.⁸⁰⁵⁷

For Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah³⁰⁶³ did give⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and seven⁷⁶⁵¹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep;⁶⁶²⁹ and the princes⁸²⁶⁹ gave⁷³¹¹ to the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ a thousand⁵⁰⁵ bullocks⁶⁴⁹⁹ and ten⁶²³⁵ thousand⁵⁰⁵ sheep:⁶⁶²⁹ and a great number⁷²³⁰ of priests³⁵⁴⁸ sanctified⁶⁹⁴² themselves.

And all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ with the priests³⁵⁴⁸ and the Levites,³⁸⁸¹ and all the congregation⁶⁹⁵¹ that came⁹³⁵ out of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and the strangers¹⁶¹⁶ that came⁹³⁵ out of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that dwelt³⁴²⁷ in Judah,³⁰⁶³ rejoiced.⁸⁰⁵⁵

So there was great¹⁴¹⁹ joy⁸⁰⁵⁷ in Jerusalem:³³⁸⁹ for since the time³¹¹⁷ of Solomon⁸⁰¹⁰ the son¹¹²¹ of David¹⁷³² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ there was not the like in Jerusalem.³³⁸⁹

Then the priests³⁵⁴⁸ the Levites³⁸⁸¹ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and blessed¹²⁸⁸ the people:⁵⁹⁷¹ and their voice⁶⁹⁶³ was heard,⁸⁰⁸⁵ and their prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ came⁹³⁵ up to his holy⁶⁹⁴⁴ dwelling place,⁴⁵⁸³ even unto heaven.⁸⁰⁶⁴
