and said to them, Hear me, you Levites; now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh, and turned their backs.

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

Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth, to be an astonishment, and a hissing, as you see with your eyes.

יְהוָ֔ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

My sons, don't be negligent now; for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him, to minister to him, and that you should be his ministers, and burn incense.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

They gathered their brothers, and sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Yahweh, to cleanse the house of Yahweh.

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

The priests went in to the inner part of the house of Yahweh, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Yahweh into the court of the house of Yahweh. 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 [ergänzt: day] of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of Yahweh; and they sanctified the house of Yahweh 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 [ergänzt: the palace], and said, We have cleansed all the house of Yahweh, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels of it, and the table of show bread, with all the vessels of it.

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 Yahweh.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

They brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the sanctuary and for Judah. He commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of Yahweh.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

He set the Levites in the house of Yahweh 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 Yahweh by his prophets.

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

Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song of Yahweh 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 to Yahweh with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. They sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshiped.

לַֽיהוָ֔ה (יהוָ֔ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Then Hezekiah answered, Now you have consecrated yourselves to Yahweh; come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of Yahweh. The assembly brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart [ergänzt: brought] burnt offerings.

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

The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.

לַיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

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 Yahweh was set in order.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Yahweh at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to Yahweh, 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 Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover to Yahweh, 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, You children of Israel, turn again to Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that he may return to the remnant that have escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

יְהוָ֗ה Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Don't be you like your fathers, and like your brothers, who trespassed against Yahweh, the God of their fathers, so that he gave them up to desolation, as you see.

בַּיהוָ֖ה (יהוָ֖ה) Yah.weh “Yahweh”

Now don't you be stiff-necked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves to Yahweh, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, and serve Yahweh your God, that his fierce anger may turn away from you.

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

For if you turn again to Yahweh, your brothers and your children shall find compassion before those who led them captive, and shall come again into this land: for Yahweh your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.

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

Also on 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 Yahweh.

יְהוָֽה׃ Yah.weh “Yahweh”
