21And the king commanded all the people, saying, "Perform a Passover sacrifice to the Lord your God, as it is written in this scroll of the covenant." | ×›×וַיְצַ֚ו הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ ×Ö¶×ªÖ¾×›Ö¸Ö¼×œÖ¾×”Ö¸×¢Ö¸Ö£× ×œÖµ×מֹ֔ר עֲשֹ֣וּ פֶ֔סַח לַֽיהֹוָ֖ה ×Ö±×œÖ¹Ö½×”Öµ×™×›Ö¶Ö‘× ×›Ö·Ö¼×›Ö¸Ö¼×ªÖ•×•Ö¼×‘ עַ֛ל סֵ֥פֶר הַבְּרִ֖ית ×”Ö·×–Ö¶Ö¼Ö½×”: | |
22For such a Passover sacrifice had not been performed since the time of the judges who judged Israel, and all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah. | כבכִּ֣י ×œÖ¹Öš× × Ö·Ö½×¢Ö²×©Ö¸×‚×”Ö™ כַּפֶּ֣סַח ×”Ö·×–Ö¶Ö¼Ö”×” מִימֵי֙ הַשֹּ×Ö£×¤Ö°×˜Ö´Ö”×™× ×ֲשֶ×֥ר שָ×פְט֖וּ ×ֶת־יִשְׂרָ×ֵ֑ל וְכֹ֗ל יְמֵ֛י מַלְכֵ֥י יִשְׂרָ×ֵ֖ל וּמַלְכֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה: | |
such a Passover sacrifice had not been performed: So many people had not assembled at any Passover sacrifice as assembled at this one. | ||
since the days of the judges: In II Chron. 35:18, it is written, “Since the days of Samuel,” because Samuel, too, led Israel to improve [their ways], and he assembled them to Mizpah (I Sam. 7:5, 6). Alternatively, such a Passover had not been performed to the Lord in Jerusalem. Since the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah reigned, all Israel did not perform a Passover sacrifice in Jerusalem, because the kingdom had been divided in two since Jeroboam, and they would go to the calf in Bethel and in Dan until now that the ten tribes were exiled, and Jeremiah brought them back, and Josiah reigned over them, and they all came to Jerusalem. | ||
23Except in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover sacrifice was performed to the Lord, in Jerusalem. | ×›×’×›Ö´Ö¼Ö—×™ ×Ö´×־בִּשְ××žÖ¹× Ö¶Öš×” עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָ×× Ö¸Ö”×” לַמֶּֽלֶךְ ×™Ö¹Ö½×שִ×יָּ֑הוּ × Ö·×¢Ö²×©Ö¸Ö¹Öž×” הַפֶּ֧סַח ×”Ö·×–Ö¶Ö¼Ö›×” לַיהֹוָ֖ה בִּירוּשָ×לָֽ×Ö´: | |
24And also the necromancers and those who divine by the Jidoa bone and the teraphim and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah abolished, in order to fulfill the words of the Torah which were written in the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the Lord. | ×›×“×•Ö°×’Ö·Ö£× ×ֶת־הָ×ֹב֣וֹת וְ×Ö¶×ªÖ¾×”Ö·Ö ×™Ö´Ö¼×“Ö°Ö¼×¢Ö¹× Ö´×™× ×•Ö°×Ö¶×ªÖ¾×”Ö·×ªÖ°Ö¼×¨Ö¸×¤Ö´Ö¨×™× ×•Ö°×Ö¶×ªÖ¾×”Ö·×’Ö´Ö¼×œÖ»Ö¼×œÖ´Öœ×™× ×•Ö°×ֵ֣ת כָּל־הַשִּ××§Ö»Ö¼×¦Ö´Ö—×™× ×ֲשֶ×֚ר × Ö´×¨Ö°×וּ֙ בְּ×ֶ֚רֶץ יְהוּדָה֙ וּבִיר֣וּשָ×לַ֔×Ö´ בִּעֵ֖ר ×™Ö¹Ö½×שִ×יָּ֑הוּ ×œÖ°Ö ×žÖ·×¢Ö·×Ÿ ×”Ö¸×§Ö´Öž×™× ×ֶת־דִּבְרֵ֚י הַתּוֹרָה֙ ×”Ö·×›Ö°Ö¼×ªÖ»×‘Ö´Ö£×™× ×¢Ö·×œÖ¾×”Ö·×¡ÖµÖ¼Ö”×¤Ö¶×¨ ×ֲשֶ×֥ר ×žÖ¸×¦Ö¸Ö›× ×—Ö´×œÖ°×§Ö´×™Ö¸Ö¼Ö¥×”×•Ö¼ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בֵּ֥ית יְהֹוָֽה: | |
the teraphim: images that speak through sorcery, and the one who makes them must determine one hour in the year and one year that is fit for this. | ||
25Now, before him there was no king like him, who returned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his possessions, according to the entire Torah of Moses, and after him no one arose. | כהוְכָמֹהוּ֩ לֹֽ×־הָיָ֨ה ×œÖ°×¤Ö¸× Ö¸Öœ×™×• מֶ֗לֶךְ ×ֲשֶ×ר־שָ×֚ב ×ֶל־יְהֹוָה֙ בְּכָל־לְבָב֚וֹ ×•Ö¼×‘Ö°×›Ö¸×œÖ¾× Ö·×¤Ö°×©×וֹ֙ וּבְכָל־מְ×ֹד֔וֹ כְּכֹ֖ל תּוֹרַ֣ת משֶ×Ö‘×” וְ×ַחֲרָ֖יו לֹֽ×Ö¾×§Ö¸Ö¥× ×›Ö¸Ö¼×žÖ¹Ö½×”×•Ö¼: |
