2 Chronicles 30:13-17

30:13 A huge crowd assembled in Jerusalem to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread in the second month. ¹  30:14 They removed the altars in Jerusalem; they also removed all the incense altars and threw them into the Kidron Valley. ² 

30:15 They slaughtered the Passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month. The priests and Levites were ashamed, so they consecrated themselves and brought burnt sacrifices to the Lord’s temple. 30:16 They stood at their posts according to the regulations outlined in the law of Moses, the man of God. The priests were splashing the blood as the Levites handed it to them. ³  30:17 Because many in the assembly had not consecrated themselves, the Levites slaughtered ⁴  the Passover lambs of all who were ceremonially unclean and could not consecrate their sacrifice to the Lord. ⁵ 

¹ tn The Hebrew text adds here, “a very large assembly.” This has not been translated to avoid redundancy with the expression “a huge crowd” at the beginning of the verse.

² tn Heb “and they arose and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the incense altars they removed and threw into the Kidron Valley.”

³ tn Heb “from the hand of the Levites.”

⁴ tn Heb “were over the slaughter of.”

⁵ tn Heb “of everyone not pure to consecrate to the Lord.”
