For they could
<03201> (8804)

not keep
<06213> (8800)

it at that time
<06256>_,

because the priests
<03548>

had not sanctified
<06942> (8694)

themselves sufficiently
<04078> (8676) <01767>_,

neither had the people
<05971>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

Then they killed
<07819> (8799)

the passover
<06453>

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

[day] of the second
<08145>

month
<02320>_:

and the priests
<03548>

and the Levites
<03881>

were ashamed
<03637> (8738)_,

and sanctified
<06942> (8691)

themselves, and brought in
<0935> (8686)

the burnt offerings
<05930>

into the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

For a multitude
<04768>

of the people
<05971>_,

[even] many
<07227>

of Ephraim
<0669>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

Issachar
<03485>_,

and Zebulun
<02074>_,

had not
<03808>

cleansed
<02891> (8694)

themselves, yet did they eat
<0398> (8804)

the passover
<06453>

otherwise than it was written
<03789> (8803)_.

But Hezekiah
<03169>

prayed
<06419> (8694)

for them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The good
<02896>

LORD
<03068>

pardon
<03722> (8762)

[That] prepareth
<03559> (8689)

his heart
<03824>

to seek
<01875> (8800)

God
<0430>_,

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of his fathers
<01>_,

though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification
<02893>

of the sanctuary
<06944>_.
