2 Chronicles 30:22

30:22 Hezekiah expressed his appreciation to all the Levites, 2  who demonstrated great skill in serving the Lord. 3  They feasted for the seven days of the festival, 4  and were making peace offerings and giving thanks to the Lord God of their ancestors.

1 tn Heb “Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel was with him, a very great assembly from Lebo Hamath to the wadi of Egypt.”

2 tn Heb “and Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites.” On the meaning of the idiom “speak to the heart of” here, see HALOT 210 s.v. II דבר 8.d.

3 tn Heb “who demonstrated skill [with] good skill for the Lord.”

4 tn Heb “and they ate [during] the appointed time [for] seven days.” מוֹעֵד (moed, “appointed time”) is probably an adverbial accusative of time referring to the festival. However, some understand it as metonymically referring to the food eaten during the festival. See BDB 417 s.v.
