15 And they slue Passouer the foureteenth day of the second moneth: And the priestes and Leuites which were ashamed, sanctified them selues, and brought in the burnt offringes into the house of the Lorde. 16 And they stoode in their office after their maner and according to the lawe of Moyses the man of God: And the priestes sprinckled the blood, which they receaued of the hande of the Leuites. 17 For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified, and therefore the Leuites had the charge of the killing of the Passouer for euery one that was not cleane, to sanctifie him vnto the Lorde. 18 For many of the people, and very many out of Ephraim, Manasse, Isachar, and Zabulon, were not clensed, and yet did eate Passour against the lawe appoynted: but Hezekia prayed for them, saying, The good Lorde be mercifull toward euery one 19 That prepareth his heart to seeke the Lorde God, the God of his fathers: though he be not clensed accordyng to the purification of the sanctuarie. 20 And the Lorde heard Hezekia, and healed the people. 21 And the children of Israel that were present at Hierusalem, held the feast of sweete bread seuen dayes, with great gladnes: and the Leuites & the priestes praysed the Lorde day by day, singing with loude instrumentes vnto the lord. 22 And Hezekia spake comfortablie vnto all the Leuites that had good knowledge to sing vnto the Lorde: and they did eate throughout that feast seuen dayes long, and offered peace offringes, and thanked the Lorde God of their fathers. 23 And the whole assemblie toke counsel to do so other seuen dayes: & they helde those seuen dayes with gladnesse: 24 For Hezekia king of Iuda, did geue to the congregation a thousand young oxen, and seuen thousand sheepe: And the lordes gaue out to the congregation a thousand oxen, & ten thousand sheepe, and a great number of the priestes were sanctified. 25 And all the congregation of Iuda, with the priestes & Leuites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, & the straungers that came out of the lande of Israel, & that dwelt in Iuda, reioyced. 26 And there was great gladnesse in Hierusalem: For since the time of Solomon the sonne of Dauid king of Israel, there was no such ioy in Hierusalem. 27 And the priestes and the Leuites arose, and blessed the people: and their voyce was heard of the Lorde, and their prayer came vp vnto heauen his holy dwelling place. 2 Chronicles 30:15-27, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
