2 Chronicles 30 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

All Israel Invited to the Passover

2Ch 30:1Hizkiyahu sent to all Yisra'el and Yehudah, and wrote letters also to Efrayim and Menashsheh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach to the LORD, the God of Yisra'el.

2Ch 30:2

2Ch 30:2For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the assembly in Yerushalayim, to keep the Pesach in the second month.

2Ch 30:3

2Ch 30:3For they could not keep it at that time, because the Kohanim had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Yerushalayim.

2Ch 30:4

2Ch 30:4The thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the assembly.

2Ch 30:5

2Ch 30:5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Yisra'el, from Be'er-Sheva even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Pesach to the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, at Yerushalayim: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.

2Ch 30:6

2Ch 30:6So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Yisra'el and Yehudah, and according to the mitzvah of the king, saying, You children of Yisra'el, turn again to the LORD, the God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yisra'el, that he may return to the remnant that have escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Ashshur.

2Ch 30:7

2Ch 30:7Don't be you like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.

2Ch 30:8

2Ch 30:8Now don't you be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

2Ch 30:9

2Ch 30:9For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.

2Ch 30:10

2Ch 30:10So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Efrayim and Menashsheh, even to Zevulun: but they ridiculed them, and mocked them.

2Ch 30:11

2Ch 30:11Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Menashsheh and of Zevulun humbled themselves, and came to Yerushalayim.

2Ch 30:12

2Ch 30:12Also on Yehudah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the mitzvah of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.

2Ch 30:16

2Ch 30:16They stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moshe the man of God: the Kohanim sprinkled the blood which they received of the hand of the Levites.

2Ch 30:17

2Ch 30:17For there were many in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves: therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the Pesachim for everyone who was not clean, to sanctify them to the LORD.

2Ch 30:18

2Ch 30:18For a multitude of the people, even many of Efrayim and Menashsheh, Yissakhar and Zevulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Pesach otherwise than it is written. For Hizkiyahu had prayed for them, saying, The good the LORD pardon everyone

2Ch 30:19

2Ch 30:22

2Ch 30:22Hizkiyahu spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding in the service of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

2Ch 30:23

2Ch 30:23The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.

2Ch 30:24

2Ch 30:24For Hizkiyahu king of Yehudah did give to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of Kohanim sanctified themselves.

2Ch 30:25

2Ch 30:25All the assembly of Yehudah, with the Kohanim and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Yisra'el, and the foreigners who came out of Eretz-Yisra'el, and who lived in Yehudah, rejoiced.

2Ch 30:26

2Ch 30:26So there was great joy in Yerushalayim; for since the time of Shlomo the son of David king of Yisra'el there was not the like in Yerushalayim.

2Ch 30:27

2Ch 30:27Then the Kohanim the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy habitation, even to heaven.
