ylt @2Chronicles:29:21 @and they bring in seven bullocks , and seven rams , and seven lambs , and seven young he-goats , for a sin-offering for the kingdom , and for the sanctuary , and for Judah ; and he saith to sons of Aaron , the priests , to cause [them ] to ascend on the altar of Jehovah . ylt @2Chronicles:29:22 @And they slaughter the oxen , and the priests receive the blood , and sprinkle on the altar ; and they slaughter the rams , and sprinkle the blood on the altar ; and they slaughter the lambs , and sprinkle the blood on the altar ; ylt @2Chronicles:29:23 @and they bring nigh the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the assembly , and they lay their hands upon them ; ylt @2Chronicles:29:24 @and the priests slaughter them , and make a sin-offering with their blood on the altar , to make atonement for all Israel , for 'For all Israel ,' said the king , '[is ] the burnt-offering and the sin-offering .' ylt @2Chronicles:29:25 @And he appointeth the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals , with psalteries , and with harps , by the command of David , and of Gad , seer of the king , and of Nathan the prophet , for by the hand of Jehovah [is ] the command , by the hand of His prophets ; ylt @2Chronicles:29:26 @and the Levites stand with the instruments of David , and the priests with the trumpets . ylt @2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah saith to cause the burnt-offering to ascend on the altar ; and at the time the burnt-offering began -- began the song of Jehovah , and the trumpets , even by the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel . ylt @2Chronicles:29:28 @And all the assembly are doing obeisance , and the singers singing , and the trumpeters blowing ; the whole [is ] till the completion of the burnt-offering . ylt @2Chronicles:29:29 @And at the completion of the offering up bowed have the king and all those found with him , and do obeisance . ylt @2Chronicles:29:30 @And Hezekiah the king saith , and the princes , to the Levites to give praise to Jehovah in the words of David , and of Asaph the seer , and they praise -- unto joy , and they bow , and do obeisance . ylt @2Chronicles:29:31 @And Hezekiah answereth and saith , 'Now ye have filled your hand to Jehovah , come nigh , and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah ;' and the assembly bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings , and every willing-hearted one -- burnt-offerings . ylt @2Chronicles:29:32 @And the number of the burnt-offerings that the assembly have brought in , is seventy oxen , a hundred rams , lambs two hundred ; for a burnt-offering to Jehovah [are ] all these . ylt @2Chronicles:29:33 @And the sanctified things [are ] oxen six hundred , and sheep three thousand . ylt @2Chronicles:29:34 @Only , the priests have become few , and have not been able to strip the whole of the burnt-offerings , and their brethren the Levites strengthen them till the completion of the work , and till the priests sanctify themselves , for the Levites [are ] more upright of heart to sanctify themselves than the priests . ylt @2Chronicles:29:35 @And also , burnt-offerings [are ] in abundance , with fat of the peace-offerings , and with oblations for the burnt-offering ; and the service of the house of Jehovah is established , ylt @2Chronicles:29:36 @and rejoice doth Hezekiah and all the people , because of God 's giving preparation to the people , for the thing hath been suddenly .
