2 Chronicles 30:1-11

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>_.
