2 Chronicles 29:1--31:21

29:1

Hezekiah
<03169>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

[when he was] five
<02568>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

and he reigned
<04427> (8804)

nine
<08672>

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And his mother's
<0517>

name
<08034>

[was] Abijah
<029>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Zechariah
<02148>_.

29:2

And he did
<06213> (8799)

[that which was] right
<03477>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

according to all that David
<01732>

his father
<01>

had done
<06213> (8804)_.

29:3

He in the first
<07223>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,

in the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

opened
<06605> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and repaired
<02388> (8762)

them.

29:4

And he brought in
<0935> (8686)

the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and gathered them together
<0622> (8799)

into the east
<04217>

street
<07339>_,

29:5

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Hear
<08085> (8798)

me, ye Levites
<03881>_,

sanctify
<06942> (8690)

now yourselves, and sanctify
<06942> (8761)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of your fathers
<01>_,

and carry forth
<03318> (8685)

the filthiness
<05079>

out of the holy
<06944>

[place].

29:6

For our fathers
<01>

have trespassed
<04603> (8804)_,

and done
<06213> (8804)

[that which was] evil
<07451>

in the eyes
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_,

and have forsaken
<05800> (8799)

him, and have turned away
<05437> (8686)

their faces
<06440>

from the habitation
<04908>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and turned
<05414> (8799)

[their] backs
<06203>_.

{turned their...: Heb. given the neck}

29:7

Also they have shut up
<05462> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of the porch
<0197>_,

and put out
<03518> (8762)

the lamps
<05216>_,

and have not burned
<06999> (8689)

incense
<07004>

nor offered
<05927> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

in the holy
<06944>

[place] unto the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

29:8

Wherefore the wrath
<07110>

of the LORD
<03068>

was upon Judah
<03063>

and Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and he hath delivered
<05414> (8799)

them to trouble
<02189> (8675) <02113>_,

to astonishment
<08047>_,

and to hissing
<08322>_,

as ye see
<07200> (8802)

with your eyes
<05869>_.

{trouble: Heb. commotion}

29:9

For, lo, our fathers
<01>

have fallen
<05307> (8804)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and our sons
<01121>

and our daughters
<01323>

and our wives
<0802>

[are] in captivity
<07628>

for this.

29:10

Now [it is] in mine heart
<03824>

to make
<03772> (8800)

a covenant
<01285>

with the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that his fierce
<02740>

wrath
<0639>

may turn away
<07725> (8799)

from us.

29:11

My sons
<01121>_,

be not now negligent
<07952> (8735)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath chosen
<0977> (8804)

you to stand
<05975> (8800)

before
<06440>

him, to serve
<08334> (8763)

him, and that ye should minister
<08334> (8764)

unto him, and burn incense
<06999> (8688)_.

{be not...: or, be not now deceived} {burn...: or, offer sacrifice}

29:12

Then the Levites
<03881>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

Mahath
<04287>

the son
<01121>

of Amasai
<06022>_,

and Joel
<03100>

the son
<01121>

of Azariah
<05838>_,

of the sons
<01121>

of the Kohathites
<06956>_:

and of the sons
<01121>

of Merari
<04847>_,

Kish
<07027>

the son
<01121>

of Abdi
<05660>_,

and Azariah
<05838>

the son
<01121>

of Jehalelel
<03094>_:

and of the Gershonites
<01649>_;

Joah
<03098>

the son
<01121>

of Zimmah
<02155>_,

and Eden
<05731>

the son
<01121>

of Joah
<03098>_:

29:13

And of the sons
<01121>

of Elizaphan
<0469>_;

Shimri
<08113>_,

and Jeiel
<03273>_:

and of the sons
<01121>

of Asaph
<0623>_;

Zechariah
<02148>_,

and Mattaniah
<04983>_:

29:14

And of the sons
<01121>

of Heman
<01968>_;

Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Shimei
<08096>_:

and of the sons
<01121>

of Jeduthun
<03038>_;

Shemaiah
<08098>_,

and Uzziel
<05816>_.

29:15

And they gathered
<0622> (8799)

their brethren
<0251>_,

and sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves, and came
<0935> (8799)_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of the king
<04428>_,

by the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to cleanse
<02891> (8763)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{by the words...: or, in the business of the LORD}

29:16

And the priests
<03548>

went
<0935> (8799)

into the inner part
<06441>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to cleanse
<02891> (8763)

[it], and brought out
<03318> (8686)

all the uncleanness
<02932>

that they found
<04672> (8804)

in the temple
<01964>

of the LORD
<03068>

into the court
<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And the Levites
<03881>

took
<06901> (8762)

[it], to carry [it] out
<03318> (8687)

abroad
<02351>

into the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_.

29:17

Now they began
<02490> (8686)

on the first
<0259>

[day] of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>

to sanctify
<06942> (8763)_,

and on the eighth
<08083>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

came
<0935> (8804)

they to the porch
<0197>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

so they sanctified
<06942> (8762)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

in eight
<08083>

days
<03117>_;

and in the sixteenth
<08337> <06240>

day of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>

they made an end
<03615> (8765)_.

29:18

Then they went
<0935> (8799)

in
<06441>

to Hezekiah
<02396>

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have cleansed
<02891> (8765)

all the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and the altar
<04196>

of burnt offering
<05930>_,

with all the vessels
<03627>

thereof, and the shewbread
<04635>

table
<07979>_,

with all the vessels
<03627>

thereof.

29:19

Moreover all the vessels
<03627>_,

which king
<04428>

Ahaz
<0271>

in his reign
<04438>

did cast away
<02186> (8689)

in his transgression
<04604>_,

have we prepared
<03559> (8689)

and sanctified
<06942> (8689)_,

and, behold, they [are] before
<06440>

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

29:20

Then Hezekiah
<03169>

the king
<04428>

rose early
<07925> (8686)_,

and gathered
<0622> (8799)

the rulers
<08269>

of the city
<05892>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

29:21

And they brought
<0935> (8686)

seven
<07651>

bullocks
<06499>_,

and seven
<07651>

rams
<0352>_,

and seven
<07651>

lambs
<03532>_,

and seven
<07651>

he
<06842>

goats
<05795>_,

for a sin offering
<02403>

for the kingdom
<04467>_,

and for the sanctuary
<04720>_,

and for Judah
<03063>_.

And he commanded
<0559> (8799)

the priests
<03548>

the sons
<01121>

of Aaron
<0175>

to offer
<05927> (8687)

[them] on the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

29:22

So they killed
<07819> (8799)

the bullocks
<01241>_,

and the priests
<03548>

received
<06901> (8762)

the blood
<01818>_,

and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

[it] on the altar
<04196>_:

likewise, when they had killed
<07819> (8799)

the rams
<0352>_,

they sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

upon the altar
<04196>_:

they killed
<07819> (8799)

also the lambs
<03532>_,

and they sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

the blood
<01818>

upon the altar
<04196>_.

29:23

And they brought forth
<05066> (8686)

the he goats
<08163>

[for] the sin offering
<02403>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

and the congregation
<06951>_;

and they laid
<05564> (8799)

their hands
<03027>

upon them: {forth: Heb. near}

29:24

And the priests
<03548>

killed
<07819> (8799)

them, and they made reconciliation
<02398> (8762)

with their blood
<01818>

upon the altar
<04196>_,

to make an atonement
<03722> (8763)

for all Israel
<03478>_:

for the king
<04428>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

[that] the burnt offering
<05930>

and the sin offering
<02403>

[should be made] for all Israel
<03478>_.

29:25

And he set
<05975> (8686)

the Levites
<03881>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

with cymbals
<04700>_,

with psalteries
<05035>_,

and with harps
<03658>_,

according to the commandment
<04687>

of David
<01732>_,

and of Gad
<01410>

the king's
<04428>

seer
<02374>_,

and Nathan
<05416>

the prophet
<05030>_:

for [so was] the commandment
<04687>

of
<03027>

the LORD
<03068>

by
<03027>

his prophets
<05030>_.

{commandment of the LORD: Heb. commandment by the hand of the LORD} {by: Heb. by the hand of}

29:26

And the Levites
<03881>

stood
<05975> (8799)

with the instruments
<03627>

of David
<01732>_,

and the priests
<03548>

with the trumpets
<02689>_.

29:27

And Hezekiah
<02396>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

to offer
<05927> (8687)

the burnt offering
<05930>

upon the altar
<04196>_.

And when
<06256>

the burnt offering
<05930>

began
<02490> (8689)_,

the song
<07892>

of the LORD
<03068>

began
<02490> (8689)

[also] with the trumpets
<02689>_,

and with the instruments
<03627>

[ordained] by
<03027>

David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{when: Heb. in the time} {the instruments: Heb. hands of instruments}

29:28

And all the congregation
<06951>

worshipped
<07812> (8693)_,

and the singers
<07892>

sang
<07891> (8789)_,

and the trumpeters
<02689>

sounded
<02690> (8688) (8675) <02690> (8764)_:

[and] all [this continued] until the burnt offering
<05930>

was finished
<03615> (8800)_.

{singers: Heb. song}

29:29

And when they had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of offering
<05927> (8687)_,

the king
<04428>

and all that were present
<04672> (8737)

with him bowed
<03766> (8804)

themselves, and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.

{present: Heb. found}

29:30

Moreover Hezekiah
<03169>

the king
<04428>

and the princes
<08269>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

the Levites
<03881>

to sing praise
<01984> (8763)

unto the LORD
<03068>

with the words
<01697>

of David
<01732>_,

and of Asaph
<0623>

the seer
<02374>_.

And they sang praises
<01984> (8762)

with gladness
<08057>_,

and they bowed their heads
<06915> (8799)

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_.

29:31

Then Hezekiah
<03169>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Now ye have consecrated
<04390> (8765) <03027>

yourselves unto the LORD
<03068>_,

come near
<05066> (8798)

and bring
<0935> (8685)

sacrifices
<02077>

and thank offerings
<08426>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

And the congregation
<06951>

brought in
<0935> (8686)

sacrifices
<02077>

and thank offerings
<08426>_;

and as many as were of a free
<05081>

heart
<03820>

burnt offerings
<05930>_.

{consecrated...: or, filled your hand}

29:32

And the number
<04557>

of the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

which the congregation
<06951>

brought
<0935> (8689)_,

was threescore and ten
<07657>

bullocks
<01241>_,

an hundred
<03967>

rams
<0352>_,

[and] two hundred
<03967>

lambs
<03532>_:

all these [were] for a burnt offering
<05930>

to the LORD
<03068>_.

29:33

And the consecrated things
<06944>

[were] six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

oxen
<01241>

and three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_.

29:34

But the priests
<03548>

were too few
<04592>_,

so that they could
<03201> (8804)

not flay
<06584> (8687)

all the burnt offerings
<05930>_:

wherefore their brethren
<0251>

the Levites
<03881>

did help
<02388> (8762)

them, till the work
<04399>

was ended
<03615> (8800)_,

and until the [other] priests
<03548>

had sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves: for the Levites
<03881>

[were] more upright
<03477>

in heart
<03824>

to sanctify
<06942> (8692)

themselves than the priests
<03548>_.

{did help...: Heb. strengthened them}

29:35

And also the burnt offerings
<05930>

[were] in abundance
<07230>_,

with the fat
<02459>

of the peace offerings
<08002>_,

and the drink offerings
<05262>

for [every] burnt offering
<05930>_.

So the service
<05656>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

was set in order
<03559> (8735)_.

29:36

And Hezekiah
<03169>

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>_,

that God
<0430>

had prepared
<03559> (8689)

the people
<05971>_:

for the thing
<01697>

was [done] suddenly
<06597>_.

30:1

And Hezekiah
<03169>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_,

and wrote
<03789> (8804)

letters
<0107>

also to Ephraim
<0669>

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

that they should come
<0935> (8800)

to the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

30:2

For the king
<04428>

had taken counsel
<03289> (8735)_,

and his princes
<08269>_,

and all the congregation
<06951>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the passover
<06453>

in the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_.

30:3

For they could
<03201> (8804)

not keep
<06213> (8800)

it at that time
<06256>_,

because the priests
<03548>

had not sanctified
<06942> (8694)

themselves sufficiently
<04078> (8676) <01767>_,

neither had the people
<05971>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

30:4

And the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03474> (8799) <05869>

the king
<04428>

and all the congregation
<06951>_.

{pleased...: Heb. was right in the eyes of the king}

30:5

So they established
<05975> (8686)

a decree
<01697>

to make proclamation
<05674> (8687) <06963>

throughout all Israel
<03478>_,

from Beersheba
<0884>

even to Dan
<01835>_,

that they should come
<0935> (8800)

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the passover
<06453>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for they had not done
<06213> (8804)

[it] of a long
<07230>

[time in such sort] as it was written
<03789> (8803)_.

30:6

So the posts
<07323> (8801)

went
<03212> (8799)

with the letters
<0107>

from
<03027>

the king
<04428>

and his princes
<08269>

throughout all Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_,

and according to the commandment
<04687>

of the king
<04428>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

turn again
<07725> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and Israel
<03478>_,

and he will return
<07725> (8799)

to the remnant
<07604> (8737)

of you, that are escaped
<06413>

out of the hand
<03709>

of the kings
<04428>

of Assyria
<0804>_.

{from: Heb. from the hand}

30:7

And be not ye like your fathers
<01>_,

and like your brethren
<0251>_,

which trespassed
<04603> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_,

[who] therefore gave them up
<05414> (8799)

to desolation
<08047>_,

as ye see
<07200> (8802)_.

30:8

Now be ye not stiffnecked
<07185> (8686) <06203>_,

as your fathers
<01>

[were, but] yield
<05414> (8798)

yourselves
<03027>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and enter
<0935> (8798)

into his sanctuary
<04720>_,

which he hath sanctified
<06942> (8689)

for ever
<05769>_:

and serve
<05647> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

that the fierceness
<02740>

of his wrath
<0639>

may turn away
<07725> (8799)

from you. {be ye...: Heb. harden not your necks} {yield...: Heb. give the hand}

30:9

For if ye turn again
<07725> (8800)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

your brethren
<0251>

and your children
<01121>

[shall find] compassion
<07356>

before
<06440>

them that lead them captive
<07617> (8802)_,

so that they shall come again
<07725> (8800)

into this land
<0776>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

[is] gracious
<02587>

and merciful
<07349>_,

and will not turn away
<05493> (8686)

[his] face
<06440>

from you, if ye return
<07725> (8799)

unto him.

30:10

So the posts
<07323> (8801)

passed
<05674> (8802)

from city
<05892>

to city
<05892>

through the country
<0776>

of Ephraim
<0669>

and Manasseh
<04519>

even unto Zebulun
<02074>_:

but they laughed them to scorn
<07832> (8688)_,

and mocked
<03932> (8688)

them.

30:11

Nevertheless divers
<0582>

of Asher
<0836>

and Manasseh
<04519>

and of Zebulun
<02074>

humbled
<03665> (8738)

themselves, and came
<0935> (8799)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

30:12

Also in Judah
<03063>

the hand
<03027>

of God
<0430>

was to give
<05414> (8800)

them one
<0259>

heart
<03820>

to do
<06213> (8800)

the commandment
<04687>

of the king
<04428>

and of the princes
<08269>_,

by the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

30:13

And there assembled
<0622> (8735)

at Jerusalem
<03389>

much
<07227>

people
<05971>

to keep
<06213> (8800)

the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>

in the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_,

a very
<03966>

great
<07230>

congregation
<06951>_.

30:14

And they arose
<06965> (8799)

and took away
<05493> (8686)

the altars
<04196>

that [were] in Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and all the altars for incense
<06999>

took they away
<05493> (8689)_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[them] into the brook
<05158>

Kidron
<06939>_.

30:15

Then they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

[day] of the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_:

and the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

were ashamed
<03637> (8738)_,

and sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves, and brought in
<0935> (8686)

the burnt offerings
<05930>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

30:16

And they stood
<05975> (8799)

in their place
<05977>

after their manner
<04941>_,

according to the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>

the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_:

the priests
<03548>

sprinkled
<02236> (8802)

the blood
<01818>_,

[which they received] of the hand
<03027>

of the Levites
<03881>_.

{their place: Heb. their standing}

30:17

For [there were] many
<07227>

in the congregation
<06951>

that were not sanctified
<06942> (8694)_:

therefore the Levites
<03881>

had the charge of the killing
<07821>

of the passovers
<06453>

for every one [that was] not clean
<02889>_,

to sanctify
<06942> (8687)

[them] unto the LORD
<03068>_.

30:18

For a multitude
<04768>

of the people
<05971>_,

[even] many
<07227>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

Issachar
<03485>_,

and Zebulun
<02074>_,

had not
<03808>

cleansed
<02891> (8694)

themselves, yet did they eat
<0398> (8804)

the passover
<06453>

otherwise than it was written
<03789> (8803)_.

But Hezekiah
<03169>

prayed
<06419> (8694)

for them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The good
<02896>

LORD
<03068>

pardon
<03722> (8762)

every one

30:19

[That] prepareth
<03559> (8689)

his heart
<03824>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

God
<0430>_,

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification
<02893>

of the sanctuary
<06944>_.

30:20

And the LORD
<03068>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to Hezekiah
<03169>_,

and healed
<07495> (8799)

the people
<05971>_.

30:21

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)

at Jerusalem
<03389>

kept
<06213> (8799)

the feast
<02282>

of unleavened bread
<04682>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

with great
<01419>

gladness
<08057>_:

and the Levites
<03881>

and the priests
<03548>

praised
<01984> (8764)

the LORD
<03068>

day
<03117>

by day
<03117>_,

[singing] with loud
<05797>

instruments
<03627>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{present: Heb. found} {loud...: Heb. instruments of strength}

30:22

And Hezekiah
<03169>

spake
<01696> (8762)

comfortably
<03820>

unto all the Levites
<03881>

that taught
<07919> (8688)

the good
<02896>

knowledge
<07922>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and they did eat
<0398> (8799)

throughout the feast
<04150>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

offering
<02076> (8764)

peace
<08002>

offerings
<02077>_,

and making confession
<03034> (8693)

to the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of their fathers
<01>_.

{comfortably...: Heb. to the heart of all}

30:23

And the whole assembly
<06951>

took counsel
<03289> (8735)

to keep
<06213> (8800)

other
<0312>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_:

and they kept
<06213> (8799)

[other] seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

with gladness
<08057>_.

30:24

For Hezekiah
<02396>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>

did give
<07311> (8689)

to the congregation
<06951>

a thousand
<0505>

bullocks
<06499>

and seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_;

and the princes
<08269>

gave
<07311> (8689)

to the congregation
<06951>

a thousand
<0505>

bullocks
<06499>

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_:

and a great number
<07230>

of priests
<03548>

sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves. {did give: Heb. lifted up, or, offered} {gave: Heb. lifted up, or, offered}

30:25

And all the congregation
<06951>

of Judah
<03063>_,

with the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

and all the congregation
<06951>

that came out
<0935> (8802)

of Israel
<03478>_,

and the strangers
<01616>

that came out
<0935> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Judah
<03063>_,

rejoiced
<08055> (8799)_.

30:26

So there was great
<01419>

joy
<08057>

in Jerusalem
<03389>_:

for since the time
<03117>

of Solomon
<08010>

the son
<01121>

of David
<01732>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

[there was] not the like in Jerusalem
<03389>_.

30:27

Then the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>

arose
<06965> (8799)

and blessed
<01288> (8762)

the people
<05971>_:

and their voice
<06963>

was heard
<08085> (8735)_,

and their prayer
<08605>

came
<0935> (8799)

[up] to his holy
<06944>

dwelling place
<04583>_,

[even] unto heaven
<08064>_.

{his holy...: Heb. the habitation of his holiness}

31:1

Now when all this was finished
<03615> (8763)_,

all Israel
<03478>

that were present
<04672> (8737)

went out
<03318> (8804)

to the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and brake
<07665> (0)

the images
<04676>

in pieces
<07665> (8762)_,

and cut down
<01438> (8762)

the groves
<0842>_,

and threw down
<05422> (8762)

the high places
<01116>

and the altars
<04196>

out of all Judah
<03063>

and Benjamin
<01144>_,

in Ephraim
<0669>

also and Manasseh
<04519>_,

until they had utterly destroyed
<03615> (8763)

them all. Then all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

every man
<0376>

to his possession
<0272>_,

into their own cities
<05892>_.

{present: Heb. found} {images: Heb. statues} {until...: Heb. until to make an end}

31:2

And Hezekiah
<03169>

appointed
<05975> (8686)

the courses
<04256>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

after their courses
<04256>_,

every man
<0376>

according
<06310>

to his service
<05656>_,

the priests
<03548>

and Levites
<03881>

for burnt offerings
<05930>

and for peace offerings
<08002>_,

to minister
<08334> (8763)_,

and to give thanks
<03034> (8687)_,

and to praise
<01984> (8763)

in the gates
<08179>

of the tents
<04264>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

31:3

[He appointed] also the king's
<04428>

portion
<04521>

of his substance
<07399>

for the burnt offerings
<05930>_,

[to wit], for the morning
<01242>

and evening
<06153>

burnt offerings
<05930>_,

and the burnt offerings
<05930>

for the sabbaths
<07676>_,

and for the new moons
<02320>_,

and for the set feasts
<04150>_,

as [it is] written
<03789> (8803)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

31:4

Moreover he commanded
<0559> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Jerusalem
<03389>

to give
<05414> (8800)

the portion
<04521>

of the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>_,

that they might be encouraged
<02388> (8799)

in the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

31:5

And as soon as the commandment
<01697>

came abroad
<06555> (8800)_,

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

brought
<0935> (8689)

in abundance
<07235> (8689)

the firstfruits
<07225>

of corn
<01715>_,

wine
<08492>_,

and oil
<03323>_,

and honey
<01706>_,

and of all the increase
<08393>

of the field
<07704>_;

and the tithe
<04643>

of all [things] brought
<0935> (8689)

they in abundantly
<07230>_.

{came...: Heb. brake forth} {honey: or, dates}

31:6

And [concerning] the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and Judah
<03063>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the cities
<05892>

of Judah
<03063>_,

they also brought in
<0935> (8689)

the tithe
<04643>

of oxen
<01241>

and sheep
<06629>_,

and the tithe
<04643>

of holy things
<06944>

which were consecrated
<06942> (8794)

unto the LORD
<03068>

their God
<0430>_,

and laid
<05414> (8799)

[them] by heaps
<06194> <06194>_.

{by heaps: Heb. heaps, heaps}

31:7

In the third
<07992>

month
<02320>

they began
<02490> (8689)

to lay the foundation
<03245> (8800)

of the heaps
<06194>_,

and finished
<03615> (8765)

[them] in the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_.

31:8

And when Hezekiah
<03169>

and the princes
<08269>

came
<0935> (8799)

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the heaps
<06194>_,

they blessed
<01288> (8762)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.

31:9

Then Hezekiah
<03169>

questioned
<01875> (8799)

with the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

concerning the heaps
<06194>_.

31:10

And Azariah
<05838>

the chief
<07218>

priest
<03548>

of the house
<01004>

of Zadok
<06659>

answered
<0559> (8799)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Since [the people] began
<02490> (8687)

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the offerings
<08641>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

we have had enough
<07646> (8800)

to eat
<0398> (8800)_,

and have left
<03498> (8687)

plenty
<07230>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

hath blessed
<01288> (8765)

his people
<05971>_;

and that which is left
<03498> (8737)

[is] this great store
<01995>_.

31:11

Then Hezekiah
<03169>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

to prepare
<03559> (8687)

chambers
<03957>

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

and they prepared
<03559> (8686)

[them], {chambers: or, storehouses}

31:12

And brought in
<0935> (8686)

the offerings
<08641>

and the tithes
<04643>

and the dedicated
<06944>

[things] faithfully
<0530>_:

over which Cononiah
<03562>

the Levite
<03881>

[was] ruler
<05057>_,

and Shimei
<08096>

his brother
<0251>

[was] the next
<04932>_.

31:13

And Jehiel
<03171>_,

and Azaziah
<05812>_,

and Nahath
<05184>_,

and Asahel
<06214>_,

and Jerimoth
<03406>_,

and Jozabad
<03107>_,

and Eliel
<0447>_,

and Ismachiah
<03253>_,

and Mahath
<04287>_,

and Benaiah
<01141>_,

[were] overseers
<06496>

under the hand
<03027>

of Cononiah
<03562>

and Shimei
<08096>

his brother
<0251>_,

at the commandment
<04662>

of Hezekiah
<03169>

the king
<04428>_,

and Azariah
<05838>

the ruler
<05057>

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

{under...: Heb. at the hand}

31:14

And Kore
<06981>

the son
<01121>

of Imnah
<03232>

the Levite
<03881>_,

the porter
<07778>

toward the east
<04217>_,

Matthew 15:2-6

15:2

Why
<1302>

do thy
<4675>

disciples
<3101>

transgress
<3845> (5719)

the tradition
<3862>

of the elders
<4245>_?

for

not
<3756>

their
<846>

hands
<5495>

when
<3752>

they eat

15:3

But
<1161>

he answered
<611> (5679)

and said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

Why
<1302>

do ye
<5210>

also
<2532>

transgress
<3845> (5719)

the commandment
<1785>

of God
<2316>

by
<1223>

your
<5216>

tradition
<3862>_?

15:4

For
<1063>

God
<2316>

commanded
<1781> (5662)_,

saying
<3004> (5723)_,

Honour
<5091> (5720)

thy
<4675>

father
<3962>

and
<2532>

mother
<3384>_:

and
<2532>_,

He that curseth
<2551> (5723)

father
<3962>

or
<2228>

mother
<3384>_,

let him die
<5053> (5720)

the death
<2288>_.

15:5

But
<1161>

ye
<5210>

say
<3004> (5719)_,

Whosoever
<3739> <302>

shall say
<2036> (5632)

to [his] father
<3962>

or
<2228>

[his] mother
<3384>_,

[It is] a gift
<1435>_,

by
<1537>

whatsoever
<3739> <1437>

thou mightest be profited
<5623> (5686)

by me
<1700>_;

15:6

And
<2532>

honour
<5091> (5661)

not
<3364>

his
<846>

father
<3962>

or
<2228>

his
<846>

mother
<3384>_,

[he shall be free]. Thus
<2532>

have ye made
<208> (0)

the commandment
<1785>

of God
<2316>

of none effect
<208> (5656)

by
<1223>

your
<5216>

tradition

Mark 7:2-13

7:2

And
<2532>

when they saw
<1492> (5631)

some
<5100>

of his
<846>

disciples
<3101>

eat
<2068> (5723)

bread
<740>

with defiled
<2839>_,

that is to say
<5123> (5748)_,

with unwashen
<449>_,

hands
<5495>_,

they found fault
<3201> (5662)_.

{defiled: or, common}

7:3

For
<1063>

the Pharisees
<5330>_,

and
<2532>

all
<3956>

the Jews
<2453>_,

except
<3362>

they wash
<3538> (5672)

[their] hands
<5495>

oft
<4435>_,

eat
<2068> (5719)

not
<3756>_,

holding
<2902> (5723)

the tradition
<3862>

of the elders
<4245>_.

{oft: or, diligently: in the original, with the fist: Theophylact, up to the elbow}

7:4

And
<2532>

[when they come] from
<575>

the market
<58>_,

except
<3362>

they wash
<907> (5672)_,

they eat
<2068> (5719)

not
<3756>_.

And
<2532>

many
<4183>

other things
<243>

there be
<2076> (5748)_,

which
<3739>

they have received
<3880> (5627)

to hold
<2902> (5721)_,

[as] the washing
<909>

of cups
<4221>_,

and
<2532>

pots
<3582>_,

<2532>

brasen vessels
<5473>_,

and
<2532>

of tables
<2825>_.

{pots: sextarius is about a pint and an half} {tables: or, beds}

7:5

Then
<1899>

the Pharisees
<5330>

and
<2532>

scribes
<1122>

asked
<1905> (5719)

him
<846>_,

Why
<1302>

walk
<4043> (5719)

not
<3756>

thy
<4675>

disciples
<3101>

according
<2596>

to the tradition
<3862>

of the elders
<4245>_,

but
<235>

eat
<2068> (5719)

bread
<740>

with unwashen
<449>

hands
<5495>_?

7:6

He answered
<611> (5679)

and
<1161>

said
<2036> (5627)

unto them
<846>_,

<3754>

Well
<2573>

hath Esaias
<2268>

prophesied
<4395> (5656)

of
<4012>

you
<5216>

hypocrites
<5273>_,

as
<5613>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

This
<3778>

people
<2992>

honoureth
<5091> (5719)

me
<3165>

with [their] lips
<5491>_,

but
<1161>

their
<846>

heart
<2588>

is
<568> (5719)

far
<4206>

from
<575>

me
<1700>_.

7:7

Howbeit
<1161>

in vain
<3155>

do they worship
<4576> (5736)

me
<3165>_,

teaching
<1321> (5723)

[for] doctrines
<1319>

the commandments
<1778>

of men
<444>_.

7:8

For
<1063>

laying aside
<863> (5631)

the commandment
<1785>

of God
<2316>_,

ye hold
<2902> (5719)

the tradition
<3862>

of men
<444>_,

[as] the washing
<909>

of pots
<3582>

and
<2532>

cups
<4221>_:

and
<2532>

many
<4183>

other
<243>

such
<5108>

like things
<3946>

ye do
<4160> (5719)_.

7:9

And
<2532>

he said
<3004> (5707)

unto them
<846>_,

Full well
<2573>

ye reject
<114> (5719)

the commandment
<1785>

of God
<2316>_,

that
<2443>

ye may keep
<5083> (5661)

your own

tradition
<3862>_.

{reject: or, frustrate}

7:10

For
<1063>

Moses
<3475>

said
<2036> (5627)_,

Honour
<5091> (5720)

thy
<4675>

father
<3962>

and
<2532>

thy
<4675>

mother

and
<2532>_,

Whoso curseth
<2551> (5723)

father
<3962>

or
<2228>

mother
<3384>_,

let him die
<5053> (5720)

the death
<2288>_:

7:11

But
<1161>

ye
<5210>

say
<3004> (5719)_,

If
<1437>

a man
<444>

shall say
<2036> (5632)

to his father
<3962>

or
<2228>

mother
<3384>_,

[It is] Corban
<2878>_,

that is to say
<3603>_,

a gift
<1435>_,

by
<1537>

whatsoever
<3739> <1437>

thou mightest be profited by
<5623> (5686)

me
<1700>_;

[he shall be free].

7:12

And
<2532>

ye suffer
<863> (5719)

him
<846>

no more
<3765>

to do
<4160> (5658)

ought
<3762>

for his

father

Making
