the
fierceness
of
His anger
doth
turn back
from us.
Now it
is
in
mine
heart to make a covenant with

you
hath Jehovah
fixed
to stand before Him, to serve Him, and to
be
to
Him ministering
and making
perfume
. '
My sons, be not now negligent:

LORD
hath chosen
you
to stand before him, to serve him, and that
ye
should
minister
unto
him ,
and burn
incense
.

are
doing
obeisance
, and the singers singing
, and the trumpeters blowing;
the
whole
`is'
till
the
completion
of
the burnt -
offering.

worshipped
, and the singers sang
, and the trumpeters sounded:
and
all
this
continued
until
the burnt offering was
finished

the
completion
of the
offering up
bowed
have
the king and all those
found
with him, and do
obeisance

with him bowed
themselves
, and worshipped
.

Hezekiah the king saith,
and the princes ,
to

--
unto
joy
, and they bow,
and do
obeisance

And
Hezekiah answereth
and saith
, `
Now ye have filled
your
hand
to
Jehovah
, come nigh,
and bring in
sacrifices and thank -
offerings to
the house of Jehovah;'
and the assembly
bring
in sacrifices and thank -
offerings ,
and every
willing-hearted
one
--
burnt -
offerings.
Then
Hezekiah answered
and said
, Now ye have consecrated
yourselves
unto
the
LORD
, come near
and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into
the house of the
LORD.
And the congregation
brought
in sacrifices and thank offerings ;
and as
many
as
were
of
a
free
heart
burnt offerings.
And the number of the burnt -
offerings that
the assembly
have
brought in
, is
seventy
oxen
, a
hundred rams, lambs
two hundred ;
for a burnt -
offering to Jehovah
`are'
all
these
.
And the number of the burnt offerings ,
which
the congregation
brought, was
threescore
and
ten
bullocks
, an
hundred rams, and
two hundred lambs:
all
these

for a burnt offering to the
LORD
.
And the sanctified
things `are'
oxen
six hundred ,
and sheep
three thousand.
And the consecrated
things were
six hundred oxen
and three thousand sheep
.
Only,
the priests have
become
few, and
have
not been
able
to
strip
the
whole
of
the burnt -
offerings ,
and
their brethren the Levites strengthen
them till the completion
of
the
work, and till
the priests sanctify
themselves ,
for the Levites `are'
more upright of
heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
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.
And also ,
burnt -
offerings `are'
in abundance, with fat of the peace -
offerings, and with
oblations
for
the burnt -
offering ;
and
the service of the house of Jehovah
is
established,
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.
and rejoice
doth
Hezekiah and all the people, because
of
God's
giving
preparation
to
the people ,
for the thing hath
been
suddenly.
And Hezekiah rejoiced,
and all the people, that
God
had
prepared
the people :
for the thing was
done
suddenly.
