And said to them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD 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 eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.

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

Wherefore the wrath of the LORD hath been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister to him, and burn incense.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And they assembled their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.

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

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

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

Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD 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, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt-offering, with all its vessels, and the show-bread table, with all its vessels.

יְהוָ֑ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and convened the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.

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 the LORD.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD 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 so was the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

יְהוָה֙ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and, as many as were of a free heart, burnt-offerings.

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

And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams: and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD 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 the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD 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 to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in the manner as it was 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 to the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you that have escaped from 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 the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

בַּיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now be ye not stiff-necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.

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

For if ye turn again to the LORD, your brethren and your children will find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they will return into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return to him.

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

Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”
