2 Chronicles 30:1-3 ▼

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 Yahweh at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

2 And the king and his princes and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to celebrate the Passover in the second month,

3 since they could not celebrate it at that time, because the priests had not set themselves apart as holy in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem.
