14:029:034 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all
           the burnt offerings:  wherefore their brethren the Levites did
           help them, till the work was ended, and until the other
           priests had sanctified themselves:  for the Levites were more
           upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

14:029:035 And 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 was
           set in order.

14:029:036 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had
           prepared the people:  for the thing was done suddenly.

14:030:001 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters
           also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the
           house of the lord at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the
           lord God of Israel.

14:030:002 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the
           congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second
           month.

14:030:003 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests
           had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the
           people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

14:030:004 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.

14:030:005 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout
           all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come
           to keep the passover unto the lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: 
           for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was
           written.

14:030:006 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his
           princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the
           commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn
           again unto the lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he
           will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the
           hand of the kings of Assyria.

14:030:007 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which
           trespassed against the lord God of their fathers, who
           therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.

14:030:008 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield
           yourselves unto the lord, and enter into his sanctuary, which
           he hath sanctified for ever:  and serve the lord your God, that
           the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
