The New Messianic Version of the Bible 1Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] began to reign [when he was] five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. And his mother's name [was] Aviyah [Yehovah is (my) father], the daughter of Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers].
2And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), according to all that David [beloved] his father had done. 3He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and repaired them. 4And he brought in the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], and gathered them together into the east street, 5And said unto them, Hear me, you2f Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) now yourselves, and sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy [place]. 6For our fathers have trespassed, and done [that which was] evil in the eyes of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and turned [their] backs. 7Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy [place] unto the God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 8For what reason the wrath of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was upon Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], and he has delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as you2f see with your eyes. 9For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives [are] in captivity for this. 10Now [it is] in my heart to make a covenant with the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that his fierce wrath may turn away from us. 11My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that you2f should minister unto him, and burn incense. 12Then the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] arose, Machat [grasping] the son of ‘Amasai [burdensome], and Yo’el [Yehovah is God] the son of ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped], of the sons of the K’hati: and of the sons of M’rari [Bitter], Kish [bent] the son of ‘Abdi [servant of Yehovah], and ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the son of Yehallel’el [God is praised]: and of the Gershuni [Exiled Ones]; Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother] the son of Zimah [plotter], and ‘Eden [pleasure] the son of Yo’ach [Yahovah is brother]: 13And of the sons of Elitzafan [My God has Protected]; Shimri [vigilant], and Ye’i’el [God sweeps away]: and of the sons of Asaf [gatherer]; Z’kharyah [Yehovah remembers], and Matanyah [gift of Yehovah]: 14And of the sons of Heiman [faithful]; Jehiel, and Shime’i [Fame]: and of the sons of Y’dutun [praising]; Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears], and Uzziel [My Strength is God]. 15And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to cleanse the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 16And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), to cleanse [it], and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) into the court of the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] took [it], to carry [it] out abroad into the brook Kidron [dark]. 17Now they began on the first [day] of the first month to sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use), and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): so they sanctified the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end. 18Then they went in to Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the showbread table, with all the vessels thereof. 19Moreover all the vessels, which king Achaz [he has grasped] in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they [are] before the altar of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 20Then Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 21And 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 Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised]. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] to offer [them] on the altar of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 22So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar. 23And they brought forth the he goats [for] the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them: 24And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: for the king commanded [that] the burnt offering and the sin offering [should be made] for all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 25And he set the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] in the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David [beloved], and of Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort] the king's seer, and Natan [giver] the prophet: for [so was] the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) by his prophets. 26And the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] stood with the instruments of David [beloved], and the priests with the trumpets. 27And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) began [also] with the trumpets, and with the instruments [ordained] by David [beloved] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 28And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: [and] all [this continued] until the burnt offering was finished. 29And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped. 30Moreover Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] the king and the princes commanded the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] to sing praise unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with the words of David [beloved], and of Asaf [gatherer] the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped. 31Then Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] answered and said, Now you2f have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings. 32And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, [and] two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a burnt offering to the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). 33And the consecrated things [were] six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep. 34But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay (stip the skin off) all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] did help them, till the work was ended, and until the [other] priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [were] more upright in heart to sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) themselves than the priests. 35And 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was set in order. 36And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] rejoiced, and all the people, that God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] had prepared the people: for the thing was [done] suddenly.
