2Chronicles:30:17-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves ;
therefore the Levites had charge of the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was not clean ,
to sanctify them to the LORD .
*
For a multitude of the people ,
many from Ephraim ,
Manasseh ,
Issachar ,
and Zebulun ,
had not cleansed themselves ,
yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written .
But Hezekiah prayed for them ,
saying , "
May the good LORD provide atonement for everyone
*
who prepares his heart to seek God ,
the LORD God of his fathers ,
though he is not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary ."
*
And the LORD listened to Hezekiah and healed the people .
*
So the children of Israel who were present at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great gladness ;
and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day ,
singing to the LORD ,
accompanied by loud instruments .
*
And Hezekiah gave encouragement to all the Levites who taught the good knowledge of the LORD ;
and they ate throughout the feast seven days ,
offering peace offerings and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers .
*
Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days ,
and they kept it another seven days with gladness .
*
For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep ,
and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep ;
and a great number of priests sanctified themselves .
*
The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced ,
also the priests and Levites ,
all the assembly that came from Israel ,
the sojourners who came from the land of Israel ,
and those who dwelt in Judah .
*
So there was great joy in Jerusalem ,
for since the time of Solomon the son of David ,
king of Israel ,
there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem .
*
Then the priests ,
the Levites ,
arose and blessed the people ,
and their voice was heard ;
and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place ,
to heaven .
