and said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and turned their backs.

יְהוָֽה־ Yah.weh- “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Wherefore the wrath of Jehovah was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to be tossed to and fro, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah, the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah hath chosen you to stand before him, to minister unto him, and that ye should be his ministers, and burn incense.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the priests went in unto the inner part of the house of Jehovah, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to the brook Kidron.

יְהוָה֮ Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now they began on the first [supplied: day] of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Jehovah; and they sanctified the house of Jehovah in eight days: and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within [supplied: the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he trespassed, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Jehovah.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah by his prophets.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֛ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto Jehovah; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Jehovah. And the assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [supplied: brought] burnt-offerings.

לַיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And the number of the burnt-offerings which the assembly brought was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel.

יְהוָ֖ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto Jehovah, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written.

לַיהוָ֥ה (יהוָ֥ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who trespassed against Jehovah, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

בַּיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto Jehovah, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever, and serve Jehovah your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

לַיהוָ֗ה (יהוָ֗ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

For if ye turn again unto Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”יְהוָ֣ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Also upon Judah came the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of Jehovah.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”
