But Hezekiah3169 prayed6419 for them, saying0559, The good2896 LORD3068 pardon3722 every one 30:19 {That} prepareth3559 his heart3824 to seek1875 God0430, the LORD3068 God0430 of his fathers0001, though {he be} not {cleansed} according to the purification2893 of the sanctuary6944. 30:20 And the LORD3068 hearkened8085 to Hezekiah3169, and healed7495 the people5971. 30:21 And the children1121 of Israel3478 that were present4672 at Jerusalem3389 kept6213 the feast2282 of unleavened bread4682 seven7651 days3117 with great1419 gladness8057: and the Levites3881 and the priests3548 praised1984 the LORD3068 day3117 by day3117, {singing} with loud5797 instruments3627 unto the LORD3068. 30:22 And Hezekiah3169 spake1696 comfortably3820 unto all the Levites3881 that taught7919 the good2896 knowledge7922 of the LORD3068: and they did eat0398 throughout the feast4150 seven7651 days3117, offering2076 peace8002 offerings2077, and making confession3034 to the LORD3068 God0430 of their fathers0001. 30:23 And the whole assembly6951 took counsel3289 to keep6213 other0312 seven7651 days3117: and they kept6213 {other} seven7651 days3117 with gladness8057. 30:24 For Hezekiah2396 king4428 of Judah3063 did give7311 to the congregation6951 a thousand0505 bullocks6499 and seven7651 thousand0505 sheep6629; and the princes8269 gave7311 to the congregation6951 a thousand0505 bullocks6499 and ten6235 thousand0505 sheep6629: and a great number7230 of priests3548 sanctified6942 themselves. 30:25 And all the congregation6951 of Judah3063, with the priests3548 and the Levites3881, and all the congregation6951 that came out0935 of Israel3478, and the strangers1616 that came out0935 of the land0776 of Israel3478, and that dwelt3427 in Judah3063, rejoiced8055. 30:26 So there was great1419 joy8057 in Jerusalem3389: for since the time3117 of Solomon8010 the son1121 of David1732 king4428 of Israel3478 {there was} not the like in Jerusalem3389. 30:27 Then the priests3548 the Levites3881 arose6965 and blessed1288 the people5971: and their voice6963 was heard8085, and their prayer8605 came0935 {up} to his holy6944 dwelling place4583, {even} unto heaven8064.
