2 Chronicles 29:2-36

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>

the son
<01121>

and Eden
<05731>

the son

And of the sons
<01121>

<0469>_;

Shimri
<08113>_,

and Jeiel
<03273>_:

and of the sons

<0623>_;

Zechariah
<02148>_,

and Mattaniah

29:14

And of the sons
<01121>

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>_.
