- 2 Chr 29:1-9 : 1 Hezekiah{H3169} began to reign{H4427}{(H8804)} when he was five{H2568} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} old{H1121}, and he reigned{H4427}{(H8804)} nine{H8672} and twenty{H6242} years{H8141} in Jerusalem{H3389}. And his mother's{H517} name{H8034} was Abijah{H29}, the daughter{H1323} of Zechariah{H2148}. 2 And he did{H6213}{(H8799)} that which was right{H3477} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}, according to all that David{H1732} his father{H1} had done{H6213}{(H8804)}. 3 He in the first{H7223} year{H8141} of his reign{H4427}{(H8800)}, in the first{H7223} month{H2320}, opened{H6605}{(H8804)} the doors{H1817} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and repaired{H2388}{(H8762)} them. 4 And he brought in{H935}{(H8686)} the priests{H3548} and the Levites{H3881}, and gathered them together{H622}{(H8799)} into the east{H4217} street{H7339}, 5 And said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} me, ye Levites{H3881}, sanctify{H6942}{(H8690)} now yourselves, and sanctify{H6942}{(H8761)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of your fathers{H1}, and carry forth{H3318}{(H8685)} the filthiness{H5079} out of the holy{H6944} place. 6 For our fathers{H1} have trespassed{H4603}{(H8804)}, and done{H6213}{(H8804)} that which was evil{H7451} in the eyes{H5869} of the LORD{H3068} our God{H430}, and have forsaken{H5800}{(H8799)} him, and have turned away{H5437}{(H8686)} their faces{H6440} from the habitation{H4908} of the LORD{H3068}, and turned{H5414}{(H8799)} their backs{H6203}. 7 Also they have shut up{H5462}{(H8804)} the doors{H1817} of the porch{H197}, and put out{H3518}{(H8762)} the lamps{H5216}, and have not burned{H6999}{(H8689)} incense{H7004} nor offered{H5927}{(H8689)} burnt offerings{H5930} in the holy{H6944} place unto the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}. 8 Wherefore the wrath{H7110} of the LORD{H3068} was upon Judah{H3063} and Jerusalem{H3389}, and he hath delivered{H5414}{(H8799)} them to trouble{H2189}{(H8675)}{H2113}, to astonishment{H8047}, and to hissing{H8322}, as ye see{H7200}{(H8802)} with your eyes{H5869}. 9 For, lo, our fathers{H1} have fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} by the sword{H2719}, and our sons{H1121} and our daughters{H1323} and our wives{H802} are in captivity{H7628} for this. 10 Now it is in mine heart{H3824} to make{H3772}{(H8800)} a covenant{H1285} with the LORD{H3068} God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, that his fierce{H2740} wrath{H639} may turn away{H7725}{(H8799)} from us. 11 My sons{H1121}, be not now negligent{H7952}{(H8735)}: for the LORD{H3068} hath chosen{H977}{(H8804)} you to stand{H5975}{(H8800)} before{H6440} him, to serve{H8334}{(H8763)} him, and that ye should minister{H8334}{(H8764)} unto him, and burn incense{H6999}{(H8688)}. 12 Then the Levites{H3881} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, Mahath{H4287} the son{H1121} of Amasai{H6022}, and Joel{H3100} the son{H1121} of Azariah{H5838}, of the sons{H1121} of the Kohathites{H6956}: and of the sons{H1121} of Merari{H4847}, Kish{H7027} the son{H1121} of Abdi{H5660}, and Azariah{H5838} the son{H1121} of Jehalelel{H3094}: and of the Gershonites{H1649}; Joah{H3098} the son{H1121} of Zimmah{H2155}, and Eden{H5731} the son{H1121} of Joah{H3098}: 13 And of the sons{H1121} of Elizaphan{H469}; Shimri{H8113}, and Jeiel{H3273}: and of the sons{H1121} of Asaph{H623}; Zechariah{H2148}, and Mattaniah{H4983}: 14 And of the sons{H1121} of Heman{H1968}; Jehiel{H3171}, and Shimei{H8096}: and of the sons{H1121} of Jeduthun{H3038}; Shemaiah{H8098}, and Uzziel{H5816}. 15 And they gathered{H622}{(H8799)} their brethren{H251}, and sanctified{H6942}{(H8691)} themselves, and came{H935}{(H8799)}, according to the commandment{H4687} of the king{H4428}, by the words{H1697} of the LORD{H3068}, to cleanse{H2891}{(H8763)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. 16 And the priests{H3548} went{H935}{(H8799)} into the inner part{H6441} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, to cleanse{H2891}{(H8763)} it, and brought out{H3318}{(H8686)} all the uncleanness{H2932} that they found{H4672}{(H8804)} in the temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068} into the court{H2691} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. And the Levites{H3881} took{H6901}{(H8762)} it, to carry it out{H3318}{(H8687)} abroad{H2351} into the brook{H5158} Kidron{H6939}. 17 Now they began{H2490}{(H8686)} on the first{H259} day of the first{H7223} month{H2320} to sanctify{H6942}{(H8763)}, and on the eighth{H8083} day{H3117} of the month{H2320} came{H935}{(H8804)} they to the porch{H197} of the LORD{H3068}: so they sanctified{H6942}{(H8762)} the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} in eight{H8083} days{H3117}; and in the sixteenth{H8337}{H6240} day of the first{H7223} month{H2320} they made an end{H3615}{(H8765)}. 18 Then they went{H935}{(H8799)} in{H6441} to Hezekiah{H2396} the king{H4428}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, We have cleansed{H2891}{(H8765)} all the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}, and the altar{H4196} of burnt offering{H5930}, with all the vessels{H3627} thereof, and the shewbread{H4635} table{H7979}, with all the vessels{H3627} thereof. 19 Moreover all the vessels{H3627}, which king{H4428} Ahaz{H271} in his reign{H4438} did cast away{H2186}{(H8689)} in his transgression{H4604}, have we prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} and sanctified{H6942}{(H8689)}, and, behold, they are before{H6440} the altar{H4196} of the LORD{H3068}. 20 Then Hezekiah{H3169} the king{H4428} rose early{H7925}{(H8686)}, and gathered{H622}{(H8799)} the rulers{H8269} of the city{H5892}, and went up{H5927}{(H8799)} to the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. 21 And they brought{H935}{(H8686)} seven{H7651} bullocks{H6499}, and seven{H7651} rams{H352}, and seven{H7651} lambs{H3532}, and seven{H7651} he{H6842} goats{H5795}, for a sin offering{H2403} for the kingdom{H4467}, and for the sanctuary{H4720}, and for Judah{H3063}. And he commanded{H559}{(H8799)} the priests{H3548} the sons{H1121} of Aaron{H175} to offer{H5927}{(H8687)} them on the altar{H4196} of the LORD{H3068}. 22 So they killed{H7819}{(H8799)} the bullocks{H1241}, and the priests{H3548} received{H6901}{(H8762)} the blood{H1818}, and sprinkled{H2236}{(H8799)} it on the altar{H4196}: likewise, when they had killed{H7819}{(H8799)} the rams{H352}, they sprinkled{H2236}{(H8799)} the blood{H1818} upon the altar{H4196}: they killed{H7819}{(H8799)} also the lambs{H3532}, and they sprinkled{H2236}{(H8799)} the blood{H1818} upon the altar{H4196}. 23 And they brought forth{H5066}{(H8686)} the he goats{H8163} for the sin offering{H2403} before{H6440} the king{H4428} and the congregation{H6951}; and they laid{H5564}{(H8799)} their hands{H3027} upon them: 24 And the priests{H3548} killed{H7819}{(H8799)} them, and they made reconciliation{H2398}{(H8762)} with their blood{H1818} upon the altar{H4196}, to make an atonement{H3722}{(H8763)} for all Israel{H3478}: for the king{H4428} commanded{H559}{(H8804)} that the burnt offering{H5930} and the sin offering{H2403} should be made for all Israel{H3478}. 25 And he set{H5975}{(H8686)} the Levites{H3881} in the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068} with cymbals{H4700}, with psalteries{H5035}, and with harps{H3658}, according to the commandment{H4687} of David{H1732}, and of Gad{H1410} the king's{H4428} seer{H2374}, and Nathan{H5416} the prophet{H5030}: for so was the commandment{H4687} of{H3027} the LORD{H3068} by{H3027} his prophets{H5030}. 26 And the Levites{H3881} stood{H5975}{(H8799)} with the instruments{H3627} of David{H1732}, and the priests{H3548} with the trumpets{H2689}. 27 And Hezekiah{H2396} commanded{H559}{(H8799)} to offer{H5927}{(H8687)} the burnt offering{H5930} upon the altar{H4196}. And when{H6256} the burnt offering{H5930} began{H2490}{(H8689)}, the song{H7892} of the LORD{H3068} began{H2490}{(H8689)} also with the trumpets{H2689}, and with the instruments{H3627} ordained by{H3027} David{H1732} king{H4428} of Israel{H3478}. 28 And all the congregation{H6951} worshipped{H7812}{(H8693)}, and the singers{H7892} sang{H7891}{(H8789)}, and the trumpeters{H2689} sounded{H2690}{(H8688)}{(H8675)}{H2690}{(H8764)}: and all this continued until the burnt offering{H5930} was finished{H3615}{(H8800)}. 29 And when they had made an end{H3615}{(H8763)} of offering{H5927}{(H8687)}, the king{H4428} and all that were present{H4672}{(H8737)} with him bowed{H3766}{(H8804)} themselves, and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)}. 30 Moreover Hezekiah{H3169} the king{H4428} and the princes{H8269} commanded{H559}{(H8799)} the Levites{H3881} to sing praise{H1984}{(H8763)} unto the LORD{H3068} with the words{H1697} of David{H1732}, and of Asaph{H623} the seer{H2374}. And they sang praises{H1984}{(H8762)} with gladness{H8057}, and they bowed their heads{H6915}{(H8799)} and worshipped{H7812}{(H8691)}. 31 Then Hezekiah{H3169} answered{H6030}{(H8799)} and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Now ye have consecrated{H4390}{(H8765)}{H3027} yourselves unto the LORD{H3068}, come near{H5066}{(H8798)} and bring{H935}{(H8685)} sacrifices{H2077} and thank offerings{H8426} into the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}. And the congregation{H6951} brought in{H935}{(H8686)} sacrifices{H2077} and thank offerings{H8426}; and as many as were of a free{H5081} heart{H3820} burnt offerings{H5930}.
- Isa 48:1-2 : 1 Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} ye this, O house{H1004} of Jacob{H3290}, which are called{H7121}{(H8737)} by the name{H8034} of Israel{H3478}, and are come forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of the waters{H4325} of Judah{H3063}, which swear{H7650}{(H8737)} by the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}, and make mention{H2142}{(H8686)} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, but not in truth{H571}, nor in righteousness{H6666}. 2 For they call{H7121}{(H8738)} themselves of the holy{H6944} city{H5892}, and stay{H5564}{(H8738)} themselves upon the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; The LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name{H8034}.
