2 Chronicles 33:16

33:16 He erected the altar of the Lord and offered on it peace offerings and thank offerings. He told the people of ¹  Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

2 Chronicles 30:22

30:22 Hezekiah expressed his appreciation to all the Levites, ²  who demonstrated great skill in serving the Lord. ³  They feasted for the seven days of the festival, ⁴  and were making peace offerings and giving thanks to the Lord God of their ancestors.

[33:16]  ¹ tn Heb “told Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.

[30:22]  ² tn Heb “and Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites.” On the meaning of the idiom “speak to the heart of” here, see HALOT 210 s.v. II דבר 8.d.

[30:22]  ³ tn Heb “who demonstrated skill [with] good skill for the Lord.”

[30:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they ate [during] the appointed time [for] seven days.” מוֹעֵד (mo’ed, “appointed time”) is probably an adverbial accusative of time referring to the festival. However, some understand it as metonymically referring to the food eaten during the festival. See BDB 417 s.v.
