1 H3169 And Hezekiah H7971 sent [H8799] H3478 to all Israel H3063 and Judah H3789 , and wrote [H8804] H107 letters H669 also to Ephraim H4519 and Manasseh H935 , that they should come [H8800] H1004 to the house H3068 of the LORD H3389 at Jerusalem H6213 , to keep [H8800] H6453 the passover H3068 unto the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel.

2 H4428 For the king H3289 had taken counsel [H8735] H8269 , and his princes H6951 , and all the congregation H3389 in Jerusalem H6213 , to keep [H8800] H6453 the passover H8145 in the second H2320 month.

3 H3201 For they could [H8804] H6213 not keep [H8800] H6256 it at that time H3548 , because the priests H6942 had not sanctified [H8694] H4078 themselves sufficiently [H8676] H1767 H5971 , neither had the people H622 gathered themselves together [H8738] H3389 to Jerusalem.

4 H1697 And the thing H3474 pleased [H8799] H5869 H4428 the king H6951 and all the congregation.

5 H5975 So they established [H8686] H1697 a decree H5674 to make proclamation [H8687] H6963 H3478 throughout all Israel H884 , from Beersheba H1835 even to Dan H935 , that they should come [H8800] H6213 to keep [H8800] H6453 the passover H3068 unto the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel H3389 at Jerusalem H6213 : for they had not done [H8804] H7230 it of a long H3789 time in such sort as it was written [H8803] .

6 H7323 So the posts [H8801] H3212 went [H8799] H107 with the letters H3027 from H4428 the king H8269 and his princes H3478 throughout all Israel H3063 and Judah H4687 , and according to the commandment H4428 of the king H559 , saying [H8800] H1121 , Ye children H3478 of Israel H7725 , turn again [H8798] H3068 unto the LORD H430 God H85 of Abraham H3327 , Isaac H3478 , and Israel H7725 , and he will return [H8799] H7604 to the remnant [H8737] H6413 of you, that are escaped H3709 out of the hand H4428 of the kings H804 of Assyria.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 unto the LORD, the God of Israel. ² For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. ³ For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. ⁴ And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation. ⁵ 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: for they had not kept it in great numbers in such sort as it is written. ⁶ 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 the LORD, 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.
