And Hezekiah H3169 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 , and wrote H3789 CMS letters H107 also H1571 to H5921 PREP Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519 , that they should come H935 L-VQFC to the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 EDS at Jerusalem H3389 , to keep H6213 L-VQFC the passover H6453 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 LMS .
For the king H4428 D-NMS had taken counsel H3289 , and his princes H8269 , and all H3605 W-CMS the congregation H6951 in Jerusalem H3389 , to keep H6213 L-VQFC the passover H6453 in the second H8145 month H2320 BD-NMS .
For H3588 CONJ they could H3201 not H3808 NADV keep H6213 it at that H1931 time H6256 , because H3588 CONJ the priests H3548 had not H3808 ADV sanctified themselves H6942 sufficiently H4078 , neither H3808 NADV had the people H5971 gathered themselves together H622 to Jerusalem H3389 .
So they established H5975 a decree H1697 NMS to make proclamation H5674 throughout all H3605 B-CMS Israel H3478 , from Beer H884 - sheba even to H5704 W-PREP Dan H1835 , that they should come H935 L-VQFC to keep H6213 L-VQFC the passover H6453 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 of Israel H3478 at Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 CONJ they had not H3808 NADV done H6213 VQQ3MP [ it ] of a long H7230 LD-NMS [ time ] [ in ] [ such ] [ sort ] as it was written H3789 .
So the posts H7323 went H1980 W-VQY3MP with the letters H107 from M-GFS the king H4428 D-NMS and his princes H8269 throughout all H3605 B-CMS Israel H3478 and Judah H3063 , and according to the commandment H4687 of the king H4428 D-NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Ye children H1121 of Israel H3478 , turn again H7725 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Abraham H85 , Isaac H3327 , and Israel H3478 , and he will return H7725 to H413 PREP the remnant H7604 of you , that are escaped H6413 out of the hand H3709 M-CFS of the kings H4428 CMP of Assyria H804 .
And be H1961 not H408 W-NPAR ye like your fathers H1 , and like your brethren H251 , which H834 RPRO trespassed H4603 against the LORD H3068 God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 , [ who ] therefore gave them up H5414 to desolation H8047 , as H834 RPRO ye H859 PPRO-2MS see H7200 VQPMP .
Now H6258 ADV be ye not stiffnecked H7185 , as your fathers H1 [ were , ] [ but ] yield H5414 yourselves unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS , and enter H935 W-VQI2MP into his sanctuary H4720 , which H834 RPRO he hath sanctified H6942 forever H5769 L-NMS : and serve H5647 the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , that the fierceness H2740 CMS of his wrath H639 CMS-3MS may turn away H7725 from H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you .
For H3588 CONJ if ye turn again H7725 unto H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS , your brethren H251 and your children H1121 [ shall ] [ find ] compassion H7356 before H6440 L-CMP them that lead them captive H7617 , so that they shall come again H7725 into this H2063 D-DFS land H776 LD-NFS : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 [ is ] gracious H2587 AMS and merciful H7349 W-AMS , and will not H3808 W-NPAR turn away H5493 [ his ] face H6440 L-CMP from H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you , if H518 PART ye return H7725 VQY2MP unto H413 him .
So the posts H7323 passed H1961 W-VQY3MP from city H5892 M-NFS to city H5892 L-NMS through the country H776 B-GFS of Ephraim H669 and Manasseh H4519 even unto H5704 W-PREP Zebulun H2074 : but they laughed them to scorn H1961 W-VQY3MP , and mocked H3932 them .
Nevertheless H389 ADV divers H376 of Asher H836 and Manasseh H4519 and of Zebulun H2074 humbled themselves H3665 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to Jerusalem H3389 .
Also H1571 CONJ in Judah H3063 the hand H3027 CFS of God H430 D-EDP was H1961 VQP3FS to give H5414 L-VQFC them one H259 MMS heart H3820 NMS to do H6213 L-VQFC the commandment H4687 CFS of the king H4428 D-NMS and of the princes H8269 , by the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
And there assembled H622 at Jerusalem H3389 much H7227 AMS people H5971 NMS to keep H6213 L-VQFC the feast H2282 of unleavened bread H4682 in the second H8145 D-ONUM month H2320 BD-NMS , a very H3966 ADV great H7230 LD-NMS congregation H6951 .
And they arose H6965 and took away H5493 the altars H4196 that H834 RPRO [ were ] in Jerusalem H3389 , and all H3605 NMS the altars for incense H6999 took they away H5493 , and cast H7993 [ them ] into the brook H5158 Kidron H6939 .
Then they killed H7819 the passover H6453 on the fourteenth H702 [ day ] of the second H8145 D-ONUM month H2320 LD-NMS : and the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 were ashamed H3637 , and sanctified themselves H6942 , and brought in H935 the burnt offerings H5930 CFP into the house H1004 CMS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
And they stood H5975 in H5921 PREP their place H5977 after their manner H4941 , according to the law H8451 of Moses H4872 the man H376 NMS of God H430 D-EDP : the priests H3548 sprinkled H2236 the blood H1818 , [ which ] [ they ] [ received ] of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the Levites H3881 .
For H3588 CONJ [ there ] [ were ] many H7227 in the congregation H6951 that H834 RPRO were not H3808 NADV sanctified H6942 : therefore the Levites H3881 had the charge of H5921 PREP the killing H7821 of the passovers H6453 for every one H3605 [ that ] [ was ] not H3808 NADV clean H2889 AMS , to sanctify H6942 [ them ] unto the LORD H3068 .
For H3588 CONJ a multitude H4768 of the people H5971 , [ even ] many H7227 of Ephraim H669 , and Manasseh H4519 , Issachar H3485 , and Zebulun H2074 , had not H3808 NADV cleansed themselves H2891 , yet H3588 CONJ did they eat H398 the passover H6453 otherwise H3808 ADV than it was written H3789 . But H3588 CONJ Hezekiah H3169 prayed H6419 for H5921 PREP-3MP them , saying H559 L-VQFC , The good H2896 D-NMS LORD H3068 EDS pardon H3722 every one H1157
[ That ] prepareth H3559 his heart H3824 to seek H1875 God H430 D-EDP , the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of his fathers H1 , though [ he ] [ be ] not H3808 W-NPAR [ cleansed ] according to the purification H2893 of the sanctuary H6944 .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 that were present H4672 at Jerusalem H3389 kept H6213 W-VQY3MP the feast H2282 of unleavened bread H4682 seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NUM-MS with great H1419 AFS gladness H8057 B-NFS : and the Levites H3881 and the priests H3548 praised H1984 the LORD H3068 L-EDS day H3117 NMS by day H3117 NUM-MS , [ singing ] with loud H5797 NMS instruments H3627 unto the LORD H3068 .
And Hezekiah H3169 spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS comfortably H3820 NMS unto all H3605 NMS the Levites H3881 that taught H7919 the good H2896 AMS knowledge H7922 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS : and they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP throughout H854 the feast H4150 seven H7651 RMS days H3117 D-NMP , offering H2076 peace H8002 offerings H2077 , and making confession H3034 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 CDP of their fathers H1 .
And the whole H3605 NMS assembly H6951 took counsel H3289 to keep H6213 L-VQFC other H312 AMP seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP : and they kept H6213 [ other ] seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP with gladness H8057 .
For H3588 CONJ Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 did give H7311 to the congregation H6951 a thousand H505 W-BMS bullocks H6499 and seven H7651 W-BMS thousand H505 MMP sheep H6629 NMS ; and the princes H8269 gave H7311 to the congregation H6951 a thousand H505 W-BMS bullocks H6499 and ten H6235 thousand H505 MMP sheep H6629 : and a great number H7230 of priests H3548 sanctified themselves H6942 .
And all H3605 NMS the congregation H6951 of Judah H3063 , with the priests H3548 and the Levites H3881 , and all H3605 NMS the congregation H6951 that came H935 out of Israel H3478 , and the strangers H1616 that came H935 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Israel H3478 , and that dwelt H3427 in Judah H3063 , rejoiced H8055 .
So there was H1961 W-VQY3FS great H1419 AFS joy H8057 in Jerusalem H3389 : for H3588 CONJ since the time H3117 of Solomon H8010 MMS the son H1121 CMS of David H1732 king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 [ there ] [ was ] not H3808 NADV the like H2063 in Jerusalem H3389 .
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 W-VQY3FS [ up ] to his holy H6944 dwelling place H4583 , [ even ] unto heaven H8064 .
