DIVRE HAYAMIM BET – SECOND CHRONICLES
people to keep the moed of Chag Matzoth in the second
month, a very great congregation.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in
Yahrushalayim, and all the altars for incense they took
away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15 Then they killed the Pesach on the fourteenth day of
the second month: and the Kohanim and the Lewiym
were ashamed, and set themselves apart, and brought in
the burnt offerings into the Bayit of vuvh.
16 And they stood in their place according to the
commandment, according to the Torah of Moshe the
man of Elohim: the Kohanim sprinkled the dahm, which
they received from the hand of the Lewiym.
17 For there were many in the congregation that were
not kadosh: therefore the Lewiym had the charge of the
killing of the Pesach for everyone that was not clean, to
set them apart to vuvh.
18 For a multitude of the people, even many of Efrayim,
4358 and Menashsheh, Yissachar, and Zevulun, had not
cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the Pesach
otherwise than it was written. But Hizqiyahu made
tefillah for them, saying, vuvh is tov and He will pardon
everyone, 4359
19 That prepares his lev to seek Elohim, vuvh Elohim of
his ahvot, though he be not cleansed according to the
purification of the Kadosh-Place.
20 And vuvh listened to Hizqiyahu, and healed the
people.
21 And the children of Yisrael that were present 4360 at
Yahrushalayim kept the moed of Chag Matzoth seven
days with great gilah: and the Lewiym and the Kohanim
gave tehilla to vuvh day-by-day, singing with loud
instruments to vuvh.
22 And Hizqiyahu spoke comfortably to all the Lewiym
that taught the tov da’at of vuvh: and they did eat
throughout the moed seven days, offering shalom
offerings, and making confession to vuvh Elohim of
their ahvot.
23 And the whole congregation took counsel to keep
another seven days: and they kept another seven days
with gilah.
24 For Hizqiyahu melech of Yahudah did give to the
congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand
sheep; and the rulers gave to the congregation a
thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great
number of Kohanim set themselves apart.
25 And all the congregation of Yahudah, with the
Kohanim and the Lewiym, and the entire congregation
that came out of Yisrael, 4361 and the gerim that came
out of the land of Yisrael, and that dwelt in Yahudah,
had gilah.
26 So there was great simcha in Yahrushalayim: for
since the time of Shlomo the son of Dawid melech of
Yisrael there was nothing like it in Yahrushalayim.
27 Then the Kohanim the Lewiym arose and blessed the
people: and their voice was heard, and their tefillah
came up to His kadosh dwelling, even to the shamayim.
Now when all this was finished, kol Yisrael that
was present 4362 31
went out to the cities of Yahudah, and
broke the images in pieces, and cut down the Asherim,
and threw down the idol temples and the altars out of all
Yahudah and Benyamin, in Efrayim also and
- 582 -
Menashsheh, until they had utterly destroyed them all.
Then all the children of Yisrael returned, every man to
his possession, into their own cities. 4363
2 And Hizqiyahu appointed the divisions of the
Kohanim and the Lewiym after their divisions, every
man according to his service, the Kohanim and Lewiym
for burnt offerings and for shalom offerings, to serve,
and to give hodu, and to give tehilla in the gates of the
tents of vuvh.
3 He appointed also the melech’s portion from his
substance for the burnt offerings, for the shacrit and
maariv burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the
Shabbats, and for the Rosh Chodashim, and for the set
moadim, as it is written in the Torah of vuvh.
4 Also he commanded the people that dwelt in
Yahrushalayim to give the portion of the Kohanim and
Lewiym to them, that they might be encouraged in the
Torah of vuvh.
5 And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the
children of Yisrael brought in abundance the bikkurim
of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase
of the fields; and the ma’aser of all things they brought
in abundantly. 4364
6 And concerning the children of Yisrael and Yahudah,
that dwelt in the cities of Yahudah, they also brought in
the ma’aser of oxen and sheep, and the ma’aser of
kadosh things which were kadosh to vuvh their Elohim,
and laid them up by heaps. 4365
7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation of
the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
8 And when Hizqiyahu and the rulers came and saw the
heaps, they blessed vuvh, and His people Yisrael.
9 Then Hizqiyahu questioned the Kohanim and the
Lewiym concerning the heaps.
10 And Azaryahu the head kohen of Beit Tzadok
answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring
the offerings into the Bayit of vuvh, we have had
enough to eat, and have left plenty: for vuvh has blessed
His people; and that which is left is in this great storage.
11 Then Hizqiyahu commanded to prepare rooms in the
Bayit of vuvh; and they prepared them,
12 And brought in the offerings and the ma’aser and the
dedicated things faithfully: over which Chonanyahu the
Lewite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
13 And Yehi-El, and Azazyahu, and Nahath, and Asah-
El, and Yerimoth, and Yozavad, and Elel, and
Yismachyahu, and Machath, and Benyahu, were
overseers under the hand of Chonanyahu and Shimei his
brother, at the commandment of Hizqiyahu the melech,
and Azaryahu the ruler of the Bayit of Elohim.
14 And Korach the son of Imnah the Lewite, the
gatekeeper toward the east, was over the terumah of
Elohim, to distribute the offerings of vuvh, and the most
kadosh things.
15 And next were Eden, and Minyamin, and Yeshua,
and Shemayahu, Amaryahu, and Shecanyahu, in the
cities of the Kohanim, in their appointed office, to give
to their brothers by divisions, to the great as well as to
the small:
16 Beside the males, from three years older and upward,
even to everyone that enters into the Bayit of vuvh, his
daily portion for their service in their duties according
to their divisions;
