killed{H7819} the passover{H6453} on the fourteenth{H702} day of the second{H8145} month:{H2320} and the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881} were ashamed,{H3637} and sanctified{H6942} themselves, and brought{H935} burnt-offerings{H5930} into the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068} 16 And they stood{H5975} in their place{H5977} after their order,{H4941} according to the law{H8451} of Moses{H4872}

Jehovah.{H3068} 18 For a multitude{H4768} of the people,{H5971} even many{H7227} of Ephraim{H669} and Manasseh,{H4519} Issachar{H3485} and Zebulun,{H2074} had not{H3808} cleansed{H2891} themselves, yet did they eat{H398} the passover{H6453} otherwise than it is written.{H3789} For Hezekiah{H3169} had prayed{H6419} for them, saying,{H559} The good{H2896} Jehovah{H3068} pardon{H3722} every one 19 that setteth{H3559} his heart{H3824} to seek{H1875} God,{H430} Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of his fathers,{H1} though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification{H2893} of the sanctuary.{H6944} 20 And Jehovah{H3068} hearkened{H8085} to Hezekiah,{H3169} and healed{H7495} the people.{H5971} 21 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} that were present{H4672} at Jerusalem{H3389} kept{H6213} the feast{H2282} of unleavened bread{H4682} seven{H7651} days{H3117} with great{H1419} gladness;{H8057} and the Levites{H3881} and the priests{H3548} praised{H1984} Jehovah{H3068} day{H3117} by day,{H3117} [singing] with loud{H5797} instruments{H3627} unto Jehovah.{H3068} 22 And Hezekiah{H3169} spake{H1696} comfortably{H3820} unto all the Levites{H3881} that had good{H2896} understanding{H7922} in the service{H7919} of Jehovah.{H3068} So they did eat{H398} throughout the feast{H4150} for the seven{H7651} days,{H3117} offering{H2076} sacrifices{H8002} of peace-offerings,{H2077} and making confession{H3034} to Jehovah,{H3068} the God{H430} of their fathers.{H1} 23 And the whole assembly{H6951} took counsel{H3289} to keep{H6213} other{H312} seven{H7651} days;{H3117} and they kept{H6213} other seven{H7651} days{H3117} with gladness.{H8057} 24 For Hezekiah{H2396} king{H4428} of Judah{H3063} did give{H7311} to the assembly{H6951} for offerings a thousand{H505} bullocks{H6499} and seven{H7651} thousand{H505} sheep;{H6629} and the princes{H8269} gave{H7311} to the assembly{H6951} a thousand{H505} bullocks{H6499} and ten{H6235} thousand{H505} sheep:{H6629} and a great number{H7230} of priests{H3548} sanctified{H6942} themselves. 25 And all the assembly{H6951} of Judah,{H3063} with the priests{H3548} and the Levites,{H3881} and all the assembly{H6951} that came out{H935} of Israel,{H3478} and the sojourners{H1616} that came out{H935} of the land{H776} of Israel,{H3478} and that dwelt{H3427} in Judah,{H3063} rejoiced.{H8055} 26 So there was great{H1419} joy{H8057} in Jerusalem;{H3389} for since the time{H3117} of Solomon{H8010} the son{H1121} of David{H1732} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} there was not the like in Jerusalem.{H3389} 27 Then the priests{H3548} the Levites{H3881} arose{H6965} and blessed{H1288} the people:{H5971} and their voice{H6963} was heard,{H8085} and their prayer{H8605} came{H935} up to his holy{H6944} habitation,{H4583} even unto heaven.{H8064}
