@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah became king when five and twenty years old, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mothers name was Abiyah, the daughter of Zecharyahu.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:3 @ He it was that in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the Lord, and repaired them.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:4 @ And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the open place at the east;
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:5 @ And he said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify yourselves now, and sanctity the house of the Lord the God of your fathers, and carry forth the unclean thing out of the sanctuary.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:6 @ For our fathers have dealt faithlessly, and have done what is evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have forsaken him; and they have turned away their faces from the habitation of the Lord, and turned their backs.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:7 @ They had also locked up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and incense have they not burnt, and the burntofferings have they not offered in the sanctuary, unto the God of Israel.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Wherefore the wrath of the Lord is upon Judah and Jerusalem. and he hath rendered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:9 @ And, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives are in captivity because of this.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:10 @ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant for the Lord the God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:11 @ My sons, be not negligent now; for of you hath the Lord made choice to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye might be unto him ministers and those that burn incense.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then arose the Levites, Machath the son of Amassai, and Joel the son of Azaryahu, of the sons of the Kehathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azaryahu the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershunites, Joach the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joach:
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:13 @ And of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri, and Jeiel; and of the sons of Assaph, Zecharyahu and Matthanyahu;
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:14 @ And of the sons of Heman, Jechiel and Shimi; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemayah and Uzziel;
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:15 @ And they gathered together their brethren, and they sanctified themselves, and came, according to the command of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:16 @ And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it; and they brought out every thing unclean which they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord; and the Levites received it, to carry it out abroad unto the brook Kidron.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:17 @ And they commenced on the first day of the first month to sanctify; and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the Lord, and they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:18 @ Then went they in the inner part to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burntoffering, and all its vessels, and the table of shewbread, and all its vessels.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the vessels, which king Achaz had cast aside during his reign in his faithlessness, have we put in order and sanctified: and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:20 @ Then arose king Hezekiah early, and gathered together the princes of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:21 @ And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven sheep, and seven hegoats, as a sinoffering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he ordered the sons of Aaron the priests to offer on the altar of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar; they also slaughtered the sheep, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:23 @ And they brought near the hegoats of the sinoffering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:24 @ And the priests slaughtered them, and they made an expiation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all the people, said the king, should be the burntoffering and the sinoffering.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the command of David, and of Gad the kings seer, and Nathan the prophet: because from the Lord was this commandment by means of his prophets.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:26 @ And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:27 @ And Hezekiah ordered to offer the burntoffering on the altar. And when the burntoffering began, the song of the Lord began with the trumpets, and with the instruments of David the king of Israel.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:28 @ And all the assembly prostrated themselves, and the song sounded, and the trumpeters blew; all this until the burntoffering was completed.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him kneeled down and prostrated themselves.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:30 @ And king Hezekiah and the princes then said to the Levites to sing praises unto the Lord with the words of David, and of Assaph the seer. And they sang praises with great joy, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then commenced Hezekiah, and said, Now have ye consecrated yourselves unto the Lord: come near and bring sacrifices and thanksgivingofferings unto the house of the Lord. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thanksgivingofferings, and every one who was liberal of heart, burntofferings.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burntofferings, which the assembly brought, was seventy bullocks, one hundred rams, two hundred sheep: as a burntoffering unto the Lord were all these.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:33 @ And the hallowed sacrifices were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:34 @ Only the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burntofferings: wherefore their brethren the Levites assisted them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests could sanctify themselves, for the Levites were of upright heart to sanctify themselves more than the priests.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:35 @ But there were also burntofferings in abundance, with the fat of the peaceofferings, and the drinkofferings for the burntofferings. So was established the service of the house of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezekiah rejoiced, with all the people, over that which God had prepared for the people; because the thing occurred suddenly.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:1 @ Then sent Hezekiah to all Israel and Judah, and he also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to prepare the passoversacrifice unto the Lord the God of Israel.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:2 @ And the king held a consultation, as also his princes, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to prepare the passoversacrifice in the second month.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:3 @ For they were not able to prepare it at that time; because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, nor had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:4 @ And the thing seemed right in the eyes of the king and in the eyes of all the assembly.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they established a decree to cause a proclamation to be made throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even as far as Dan, that they should come to prepare the passoversacrifice unto thy Lord the God of Israel at Jerusalem; because for a long time past they had not prepared it as it was written,
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:6 @ So the runners went with the letters from the hand of the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the command of the king, saying, O children of Israel, return unto the Lord the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the power of the kings of Assyria.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And be net like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted faithlessly against the Lord the God of their fathers, wherefore he gave them up to become an astonishment, as ye see.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now do ye not harden your necks, like your fathers: hold out your hand unto the Lord, and come unto his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve the Lord your God, and so will he turn away from you the fierceness of his wrath.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For If ye return unto the Lord, your brethren and your children will find mercy in the presence of their captors, so that they may return to this land; for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his countenance from you, if ye return unto him.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:10 @ And as the runners were passing from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Menasseh and as far as Zebulun, they were laughing them to scorn, and mocking at them.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Nevertheless some men of Asher and Menasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also over Judah came the hand of God to give unto them one heart to do the command of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And there was gathered together at Jerusalem a numerous people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great assembly.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:14 @ And they arose and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the vessels for burning incense did they take away, and they threw them into the brook Kidron.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:15 @ And they slaughtered the passoversacrifice on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burntofferings unto the house of the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:16 @ And they stood on their station after their prescribed manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God, the priest sprinkling the blood, out of the hand of the Levites.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the assembly that had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of the slaughtering of the passover sacrifices for every one that was not clean, to sanctify unto the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a large portion of the people, even many out of Ephraim, and Menasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, but ate the passover not as it is written. However Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The Lord who is good will grant pardon for this.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:19 @ To every one that hath directed his heart to seek God, the Lord the God of his fathers; though he be not according to the purification of the sanctuary.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:20 @ And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and he healed the people.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:21 @ And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem celebrated the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day by day, with loud instruments before the Lord.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah spoke comfortingly unto all the Levites that had good intelligence of the Lord: and they ate the festiveofferings during seven days, offering peaceofferings, and making confession to the Lord the God of their fathers.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:23 @ And the whole assembly took counsel to celebrate other seven days: and they celebrated seven days with joy.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and the priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:25 @ And thus rejoiced all the assembly of Judah, and the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that was come out of Israel, and the strangers that were come out of the land of Israel, and those that dwelt in Judah.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:26 @ And there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David the king of Israel had the like not been in Jerusalem.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then arose the priests the Levites and blessed the people: and their voice was listened to, and their prayer came to His holy dwellingplace, even unto heaven.
sf_leeser_rev1@2Chronicles:31:1 @ And when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the statues, and cut down the groves, and pulled down the highplaces and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, and in Ephraim and Menasseh, until they had made an end of them all. Then returned all the children of Israel every man to his possession, to their own cities.
