Now they began<S>2490</S> on the first<S>259</S> <i>day</i> of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> to sanctify,<S>6942</S> and on the eighth<S>8083</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> came<S>935</S> they to the porch<S>197</S> of the LORD:<S>3068</S> so they sanctified<S>6942</S> <S>853</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> in eight<S>8083</S> days;<S>3117</S> and in the sixteenth<S>8337</S> <S>6240</S> day<S>3117</S> of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> they made an end.<S>3615</S>

Then they went<S>935</S> in<S>6441</S> to<S>413</S> Hezekiah<S>2396</S> the king,<S>4428</S> and said,<S>559</S> We have cleansed<S>2891</S> <S>853</S> all<S>3605</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD,<S>3068</S> and the altar<S>4196</S> of burnt offering,<S>5930</S> with all<S>3605</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> thereof, and the shewbread<S>4635</S> table,<S>7979</S> with<S>853</S> all<S>3605</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> thereof.

Moreover all<S>3605</S> the vessels,<S>3627</S> which<S>834</S> king<S>4428</S> Ahaz<S>271</S> in his reign<S>4438</S> did cast away<S>2186</S> in his transgression,<S>4604</S> have we prepared<S>3559</S> and sanctified,<S>6942</S> and, behold,<S>2009</S> they <i>are</i> before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the LORD.<S>3068</S>


text:
<pb/>Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> rose early,<S>7925</S> and gathered<S>622</S> <S>853</S> the rulers<S>8269</S> of the city,<S>5892</S> and went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD.<S>3068</S>


text:
And they brought<S>935</S> seven<S>7651</S> bullocks,<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> rams,<S>352</S> and seven<S>7651</S> lambs,<S>3532</S> and seven<S>7651</S> he goats,<S>6842</S> <S>5795</S> for a sin offering<S>2403</S> for<S>5921</S> the kingdom,<S>4467</S> and for<S>5921</S> the sanctuary,<S>4720</S> and for<S>5921</S> Judah.<S>3063</S> And he commanded<S>559</S> the priests<S>3548</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S> to offer<S>5927</S> <i>them</i> on<S>5921</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the LORD.<S>3068</S>


text:
So they killed<S>7819</S> the bullocks,<S>1241</S> and the priests<S>3548</S> received<S>6901</S> <S>853</S> the blood,<S>1818</S> and sprinkled<S>2236</S> <i>it</i> on the altar:<S>4196</S> likewise, when they had killed<S>7819</S> the rams,<S>352</S> they sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar:<S>4196</S> they killed<S>7819</S> also the lambs,<S>3532</S> and they sprinkled<S>2236</S> the blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar.<S>4196</S>

And they brought forth<S>5066</S> <S>853</S> the he goats<S>8163</S> <i>for</i> the sin offering<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the congregation;<S>6951</S> and they laid<S>5564</S> their hands<S>3027</S> upon<S>5921</S> them:

And the priests<S>3548</S> killed<S>7819</S> them, and they made reconciliation<S>2398</S> with<S>854</S> their blood<S>1818</S> upon the altar,<S>4196</S> to make an atonement<S>3722</S> for<S>5921</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel:<S>3478</S> for<S>3588</S> the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>559</S> <i>that</i> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> and the sin offering<S>2403</S> <i>should be made</i> for all<S>3605</S> Israel.<S>3478</S>

text:
And Hezekiah<S>2396</S> commanded<S>559</S> to offer<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> upon the altar.<S>4196</S> And when<S>6256</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> began,<S>2490</S> the song<S>7892</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> began<S>2490</S> <i>also</i> with the trumpets,<S>2689</S> and with<S>5921</S> the instruments<S>3027</S> <S>3627</S> <i>ordained</i> by David<S>1732</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>

And all<S>3605</S> the congregation<S>6951</S> worshiped,<S>7812</S> and the singers<S>7892</S> sang,<S>7891</S> and the trumpeters<S>2689</S> sounded:<S>2690</S> <i>and</i> all<S>3605</S> <i>this continued</i> until<S>5704</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S> was finished.<S>3615</S>

<pb/>And when they had made an end<S>3615</S> of offering,<S>5927</S> the king<S>4428</S> and all<S>3605</S> that were present<S>4672</S> with<S>854</S> him bowed<S>3766</S> themselves, and worshiped.<S>7812</S>


text:
Moreover Hezekiah<S>3169</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> commanded<S>559</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> to sing praise<S>1984</S> unto the LORD<S>3068</S> with the words<S>1697</S> of David,<S>1732</S> and of Asaph<S>623</S> the seer.<S>2374</S> And they sang praises<S>1984</S> with<S>5704</S> gladness,<S>8057</S> and they bowed their heads<S>6915</S> and worshiped.<S>7812</S>


text:
Then Hezekiah<S>3169</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said,<S>559</S> Now<S>6258</S> ye have consecrated<S>4390</S> <S>3027</S> yourselves unto the LORD,<S>3068</S> come near<S>5066</S> and bring<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings<S>8426</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD.<S>3068</S> And the congregation<S>6951</S> brought in<S>935</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> and thank offerings;<S>8426</S> and as many as<S>3605</S> were of a free<S>5081</S> heart<S>3820</S> burnt offerings.<S>5930</S>


text:
<pb/>And the number<S>4557</S> of the burnt offerings,<S>5930</S> which<S>834</S> the congregation<S>6951</S> brought,<S>935</S> was<S>1961</S> threescore and ten<S>7657</S> bullocks,<S>1241</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> rams,<S>352</S> <i>and</i> two hundred<S>3967</S> lambs:<S>3532</S> all<S>3605</S> these<S>428</S> <i>were</i> for a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to the LORD.<S>3068</S>

And the consecrated things<S>6944</S> <i>were</i> six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> oxen<S>1241</S> and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep.<S>6629</S>


text:
But<S>7535</S> the priests<S>3548</S> were<S>1961</S> too few,<S>4592</S> so that they could<S>3201</S> not<S>3808</S> flay<S>6584</S> <S>853</S> all<S>3605</S> the burnt offerings:<S>5930</S> wherefore their brethren<S>251</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> did help<S>2388</S> them, till<S>5704</S> the work<S>4399</S> was ended,<S>3615</S> and until<S>5704</S> the <i>other</i> priests<S>3548</S> had sanctified themselves:<S>6942</S> for<S>3588</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> <i>were</i> more upright<S>3477</S> in heart<S>3824</S> to sanctify themselves<S>6942</S> than the priests.<S>4480</S> <S>3548</S>


text:
And also<S>1571</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S> <i>were</i> in abundance,<S>7230</S> with the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings,<S>8002</S> and the drink offerings<S>5262</S> for <i>every</i> burnt offering.<S>5930</S> So the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> was set in order.<S>3559</S>


text:
And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> rejoiced,<S>8055</S> and all<S>3605</S> the people,<S>5971</S> that<S>5921</S> God<S>430</S> had prepared<S>3559</S> the people:<S>5971</S> for<S>3588</S> the thing<S>1697</S> was<S>1961</S> <i>done</i> suddenly.<S>6597</S>


text:
<pb/>And Hezekiah<S>3169</S> sent<S>7971</S> to<S>5921</S> all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah,<S>3063</S> and wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>107</S> also<S>1571</S> to<S>5921</S> Ephraim<S>669</S> and Manasseh,<S>4519</S> that they should come<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the LORD<S>3068</S> at Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> unto the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel.<S>3478</S>


text:
For the king<S>4428</S> had taken counsel,<S>3289</S> and his princes,<S>8269</S> and all<S>3605</S> the congregation<S>6951</S> in Jerusalem,<S>3389</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> in the second<S>8145</S> month.<S>2320</S>


text:
For<S>3588</S> they could<S>3201</S> not<S>3808</S> keep<S>6213</S> it at that<S>1931</S> time,<S>6256</S> because<S>3588</S> the priests<S>3548</S> had not<S>3808</S> sanctified themselves<S>6942</S> sufficiently,<S>4078</S> neither<S>3808</S> had the people<S>5971</S> gathered themselves together<S>622</S> to Jerusalem.<S>3389</S>

And the thing<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3474</S> <S>5869</S> the king<S>4428</S> and all<S>3605</S> the congregation.<S>6951</S>


text:
So they established<S>5975</S> a decree<S>1697</S> to make proclamation<S>5674</S> <S>6963</S> throughout all<S>3605</S> Israel,<S>3478</S> from Beer-sheba<S>4480</S> <S>884</S> even to<S>5704</S> Dan,<S>1835</S> that they should come<S>935</S> to keep<S>6213</S> the passover<S>6453</S> unto the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> at Jerusalem:<S>3389</S> for<S>3588</S> they had not<S>3808</S> done<S>6213</S> <i>it</i> of a long<S>7230</S> <i>time in such sort</i> as it was written.<S>3789</S>


text:
So the posts<S>7323</S> went<S>1980</S> with the letters<S>107</S> from<S>4480</S> <S>3027</S> the king<S>4428</S> and his princes<S>8269</S> throughout all<S>3605</S> Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah,<S>3063</S> and according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king,<S>4428</S> saying,<S>559</S> Ye children<S>1121</S> of Israel,<S>3478</S> turn again<S>7725</S> unto<S>413</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Abraham,<S>85</S> Isaac,<S>3327</S> and Israel,<S>3478</S> and he will return<S>7725</S> to<S>413</S> the remnant<S>7604</S> of you, that are escaped<S>6413</S> out of the hand<S>4480</S> <S>3709</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria.<S>804</S>


text:
And be<S>1961</S> not<S>408</S> ye like your fathers,<S>1</S> and like your brethren,<S>251</S> which<S>834</S> trespassed<S>4603</S> against the LORD<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of their fathers,<S>1</S> <i>who</i> therefore gave them up<S>5414</S> to desolation,<S>8047</S> as<S>834</S> ye<S>859</S> see.<S>7200</S>


text:
Now<S>6258</S> be ye not stiffnecked,<S>408</S> <S>7185</S> <S>6203</S> as your fathers<S>1</S> <i>were, but</i> yield<S>5414</S> <S>3027</S> yourselves unto the LORD,<S>3068</S> and enter<S>935</S> into his sanctuary,<S>4720</S> which<S>834</S> he hath sanctified<S>6942</S> forever:<S>5769</S> and serve<S>5647</S> <S>853</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> your God,<S>430</S> that the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his wrath<S>639</S> may turn away<S>7725</S> from<S>4480</S> you.


text:
For<S>3588</S> if ye turn again<S>7725</S> unto<S>5921</S> the LORD,<S>3068</S> your brethren<S>251</S> and your children<S>1121</S> <i>shall find</i> compassion<S>7356</S> before<S>6440</S> them that lead them captive,<S>7617</S> so that they shall come again<S>7725</S> into this<S>2063</S> land:<S>776</S> for<S>3588</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> <i>is</i> gracious<S>2587</S> and merciful,<S>7349</S> and will not<S>3808</S> turn away<S>5493</S> <i>his</i> face<S>6440</S> from<S>4480</S> you, if<S>518</S> ye return<S>7725</S> unto<S>413</S> him.

Nevertheless<S>389</S> divers<S>376</S> of Asher<S>4480</S> <S>836</S> and Manasseh<S>4519</S> and of Zebulun<S>4480</S> <S>2074</S> humbled themselves,<S>3665</S> and came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem.<S>3389</S>

Also<S>1571</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>430</S> was<S>1961</S> to give<S>5414</S> them one<S>259</S> heart<S>3820</S> to do<S>6213</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of the king<S>4428</S> and of the princes,<S>8269</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the LORD.<S>3068</S>
