2 Chronicles - Chapter: 30

>
30:1And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
30:2For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
30:3For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
30:4And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
30:5So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
30:6So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
30:7And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
30:8Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
30:9For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they 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 ye return unto him.
30:10So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
30:11Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
30:12Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
30:13And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
30:14And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
30:15Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
30:16And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
30:17For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
30:18For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
30:19That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
30:20And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
30:21And the children of Israel that 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 with loud instruments unto the LORD.
30:22And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
30:23And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
30:24For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
30:25And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
30:26So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
30:27Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.

 

30:1וישׁלח יחזקיהו על כל ישׂראל ויהודה וגם אגרות כתב על אפרים ומנשׁה לבוא לבית יהוה בירושׁלם לעשׂות פסח ליהוה אלהי ישׂראל׃
30:2ויועץ המלך ושׂריו וכל הקהל בירושׁלם לעשׂות הפסח בחדשׁ השׁני׃
30:3כי לא יכלו לעשׂתו בעת ההיא כי הכהנים לא התקדשׁו למדי והעם לא נאספו לירושׁלם׃
30:4ויישׁר הדבר בעיני המלך ובעיני כל הקהל׃
30:5ויעמידו דבר להעביר קול בכל ישׂראל מבאר שׁבע ועד דן לבוא לעשׂות פסח ליהוה אלהי ישׂראל בירושׁלם כי לא לרב עשׂו ככתוב׃
30:6וילכו הרצים באגרות מיד המלך ושׂריו בכל ישׂראל ויהודה וכמצות המלך לאמר בני ישׂראל שׁובו אל יהוה אלהי אברהם יצחק וישׂראל וישׁב אל הפליטה הנשׁארת לכם מכף מלכי אשׁור׃
30:7ואל תהיו כאבותיכם וכאחיכם אשׁר מעלו ביהוה אלהי אבותיהם ויתנם לשׁמה כאשׁר אתם ראים׃
30:8עתה אל תקשׁו ערפכם כאבותיכם תנו יד ליהוה ובאו למקדשׁו אשׁר הקדישׁ לעולם ועבדו את יהוה אלהיכם וישׁב מכם חרון אפו׃
30:9כי בשׁובכם על יהוה אחיכם ובניכם לרחמים לפני שׁוביהם ולשׁוב לארץ הזאת כי חנון ורחום יהוה אלהיכם ולא יסיר פנים מכם אם תשׁובו אליו׃
30:10ויהיו הרצים עברים מעיר לעיר בארץ אפרים ומנשׁה ועד זבלון ויהיו משׂחיקים עליהם ומלעגים׃
30:11אך אנשׁים מאשׁר ומנשׁה ומזבלון נכנעו ויבאו לירושׁלם׃
30:12גם ביהודה היתה יד האלהים לתת להם לב אחד לעשׂות מצות המלך והשׂרים בדבר יהוה׃
30:13ויאספו ירושׁלם עם רב לעשׂות את חג המצות בחדשׁ השׁני קהל לרב מאד׃
30:14ויקמו ויסירו את המזבחות אשׁר בירושׁלם ואת כל המקטרות הסירו וישׁליכו לנחל קדרון׃

30:17כי רבת בקהל אשׁר לא התקדשׁו והלוים על שׁחיטת הפסחים לכל לא טהור להקדישׁ ליהוה׃
30:18כי מרבית העם רבת מאפרים ומנשׁה ישׂשכר וזבלון לא הטהרו כי אכלו את הפסח בלא ככתוב כי התפלל יחזקיהו עליהם לאמר יהוה הטוב יכפר בעד׃
30:19כל לבבו הכין לדרושׁ האלהים יהוה אלהי אבותיו ולא כטהרת הקדשׁ׃
30:20וישׁמע יהוה אל יחזקיהו וירפא את העם׃
30:21ויעשׂו בני ישׂראל הנמצאים בירושׁלם את חג המצות שׁבעת ימים בשׂמחה גדולה ומהללים ליהוה יום ביום הלוים והכהנים בכלי עז ליהוה׃
30:22וידבר יחזקיהו על לב כל הלוים המשׂכילים שׂכל טוב ליהוה ויאכלו את המועד שׁבעת הימים מזבחים זבחי שׁלמים ומתודים ליהוה אלהי אבותיהם׃
30:23ויועצו כל הקהל לעשׂות שׁבעת ימים אחרים ויעשׂו שׁבעת ימים שׂמחה׃
30:24כי חזקיהו מלך יהודה הרים לקהל אלף פרים ושׁבעת אלפים צאן והשׂרים הרימו לקהל פרים אלף וצאן עשׂרת אלפים ויתקדשׁו כהנים לרב׃
30:25וישׂמחו כל קהל יהודה והכהנים והלוים וכל הקהל הבאים מישׂראל והגרים הבאים מארץ ישׂראל והיושׁבים ביהודה׃
30:26ותהי שׂמחה גדולה בירושׁלם כי מימי שׁלמה בן דויד מלך ישׂראל לא כזאת בירושׁלם׃
30:27ויקמו הכהנים הלוים ויברכו את העם וישׁמע בקולם ותבוא תפלתם למעון קדשׁו לשׁמים׃

 

30:1And 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.
30:2And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the assembly in Jerusalem, to make the passover in the second month,
30:3for 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.
30:4And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the eyes of all the assembly,
30:5and 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.
30:6And 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;
30:7and 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.
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;
30:9for 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.'
30:10And 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,
30:11only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun, have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem.
30:12Also, 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;
30:13and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the feast of unleavened things in the second month -- a mighty assembly for multitude.
30:14And 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;
30:15and 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.
30:16And 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,
30:17for 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:
30:18for 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
30:19who hath prepared his heart to seek God -- Jehovah, God of his fathers -- yet not according to the cleansing of the sanctuary;'
30:20and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the people.
30:21And 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.
30:22And 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.
30:23And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven days, and they keep seven days `with' joy;
30:24for 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.
30:25And 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,
30:26and 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,
30:27and 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.
