ylt @2Chronicles:30:1 @And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah , and also letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh , to come in to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem , to make a passover to Jehovah , God of Israel . ylt @2Chronicles:30:2 @And the king taketh counsel , and his heads , and all the assembly in Jerusalem , to make the passover in the second month , ylt @2Chronicles:30:3 @for they have not been able to make it at that time , for the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently , and the people have not been gathered to Jerusalem . ylt @2Chronicles:30:4 @And the thing is right in the eyes of the king , and in the eyes of all the assembly , ylt @2Chronicles:30:5 @and they establish the thing , to cause to pass over an intimation into all Israel , from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan , to come in to make a passover to Jehovah , God of Israel , in Jerusalem , for not for a long time had they done as it is written . ylt @2Chronicles:30:6 @And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king and his heads , into all Israel and Judah , even according to the command of the king , saying , 'O sons of Israel , turn back unto Jehovah , God of Abraham , Isaac , and Israel , and He doth turn back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of the kings of Asshur ; ylt @2Chronicles:30:7 @and do not be like your fathers , and like your brethren , who trespassed against Jehovah , God of their fathers , and He giveth them to desolation , as ye do see . ylt @2Chronicles:30:8 @'Now , harden not your neck like your fathers , give a hand to Jehovah , and come in to His sanctuary , that He hath sanctified to the age , and serve Jehovah your God , and the fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you ; ylt @2Chronicles:30:9 @for in your turning back unto Jehovah , your brethren and your sons have mercies before their captors , even to return to this land , for gracious and merciful [is ] Jehovah your God , and He doth not turn aside the face from you , if ye turn back unto Him .' ylt @2Chronicles:30:10 @And the runners are passing over from city to city , in the land of Ephraim and Manasseh , even unto Zebulun : and they are laughing at them , and mocking at them , ylt @2Chronicles:30:11 @only , certain from Asher , and Manasseh , and from Zebulun , have been humbled , and come in to Jerusalem . ylt @2Chronicles:30:12 @Also , in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads , in the matter of Jehovah ; ylt @2Chronicles:30:13 @and much people are gathered to Jerusalem , to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month -- a mighty assembly for multitude . ylt @2Chronicles:30:14 @And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are ] in Jerusalem , and all the perfume altars they have turned aside , and cast [them ] to the brook Kidron ; ylt @2Chronicles:30:15 @and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the second month , and the priests and the Levites have been ashamed , and sanctify themselves , and bring in burnt-offerings to the house of Jehovah . ylt @2Chronicles:30:16 @And they stand on their station according to their ordinance ; according to the law of Moses the man of God the priests are sprinkling the blood out of the hand of the Levites , ylt @2Chronicles:30:17 @for many [are ] in the assembly who have not sanctified themselves , and the Levites [are ] over the slaughtering of the passover-offerings for every one not clean , to sanctify [him ] to Jehovah : ylt @2Chronicles:30:18 @for a multitude of the people , many from Ephraim and Manasseh , Issachar , and Zebulun , have not been cleansed , but have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written ; but Hezekiah prayed for them , saying , 'Jehovah , who [is ] good , doth receive atonement for every one ylt @2Chronicles:30:19 @who hath prepared his heart to seek God -- Jehovah , God of his fathers -- yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary ;' ylt @2Chronicles:30:20 @and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah , and healeth the people . ylt @2Chronicles:30:21 @And the sons of Israel , those found in Jerusalem , make the feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy ; and giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the priests , with instruments of praise before Jehovah . ylt @2Chronicles:30:22 @And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites , those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah , and they eat the appointed thing seven days ; sacrificing sacrifices of peace-offerings , and making confession to Jehovah , God of their fathers . ylt @2Chronicles:30:23 @And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days , and they keep seven days [with ] joy ; ylt @2Chronicles:30:24 @for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly a thousand bullocks , and seven thousand sheep ; and the heads have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand , and sheep ten thousand ; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance . ylt @2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the assembly of Judah rejoice , and the priests , and the Levites , and all the assembly , those coming in from Israel , and the sojourners , those coming in from the land of Israel , and those dwelling in Judah , ylt @2Chronicles:30:26 @and there is great joy in Jerusalem ; for from the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this in Jerusalem , ylt @2Chronicles:30:27 @and the priests , the Levites , rise and bless the people , and their voice is heard , and their prayer cometh in to His holy habitation , to the heavens .
