For I will pass H5674 through the land H776 of Egypt H4714 this H2088 night, H3915 and will smite H5221 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt, H4714 both man H120 and beast; H929 and against all H3605 the gods H430 of Egypt H4714 I will execute H6213 judgment: H8201 I am the LORD. H3068

And this H2088 day H3117 shall be to you for a memorial; H2146 and you shall keep H2287 it a feast H2282 to the LORD H3068 throughout your generations; H1755 you shall keep H2287 it a feast H2287 by an ordinance H2708 for ever. H5769

When he had said G2036 these G5023 words to them, he stayed G3306 still in Galilee. G1056

Then stood H6965 up Jeshua H3442 the son H1121 of Jozadak, H3136 and his brothers H251 the priests, H3548 and Zerubbabel H2216 the son H1121 of Shealtiel, H7597 and his brothers, H251 and built H1129 the altar H4196 of the God H430 of Israel, H3478 to offer H5927 burnt H5930 offerings thereon, H5921 as it is written H3789 in the law H8451 of Moses H4872 the man H376 of God. H430

They kept H6213 also the feast H2282 of tabernacles, H5521 as it is written, H3789 and offered the daily H3117 burnt H5930 offerings by number, H4557 according to the custom, H4941 as the duty H1697 of every day H3117 required; H3117

From the first H259 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month H2320 began H2490 they to offer H5927 burnt H5930 offerings to the LORD. H3068 But the foundation H3245 of the temple H1964 of the LORD H3068 was not yet laid.

And Ezra H5830 the priest H3548 brought H935 the law H8451 before H6440 the congregation H6951 both of men H376 and women, H802 and all H3605 that could hear H8085 with understanding, H995 on the first H259 day H3117 of the seventh H7637 month. H2320

And Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 stood H5975 on a pulpit H4026 of wood, H6086 which H834 they had made H6213 for the purpose; H1697 and beside H681 him stood H5975 Mattithiah, H4993 and Shema, H8087 and Anaiah, H6043 and Urijah, H223 and Hilkiah, H2518 and Maaseiah, H4641 on H5921 his right H3225 hand; H3225 and on his left H8040 hand, H8040 Pedaiah, H6305 and Mishael, H4332 and Malchiah, H4441 and Hashum, H2828 and Hashbadana, H2806 Zechariah, H2148 and Meshullam. H4918

And Ezra H5830 blessed H1288 the LORD, H3068 the great H1419 God. H430 And all H3605 the people H5971 answered, H6030 Amen, H543 Amen, H543 with lifting H4607 up their hands: H3027 and they bowed H6915 their heads, and worshipped H7812 the LORD H3068 with their faces H639 to the ground. H776

So they read H7121 in the book H5612 in the law H8451 of God H430 distinctly, H6567 and gave H7760 the sense, H7922 and caused them to understand H995 the reading. H4744

Then he said H559 to them, Go H3212 your way, eat H398 the fat, H4924 and drink H8354 the sweet, H4477 and send H7971 portions H4490 to them for whom nothing H3808 is prepared: H3559 for this day H3117 is holy H6918 to our LORD: H113 neither H408 be you sorry; H6087 for the joy H2304 of the LORD H3068 is your strength. H4581

And all H3605 the people H5971 went H3212 their way to eat, H398 and to drink, H8354 and to send H7971 portions, H4490 and to make H6213 great H1419 mirth, H8057 because H3588 they had understood H995 the words H1697 that were declared H3045 to them.

For a multitude H4768 of the people, H5971 even many H7227 of Ephraim, H669 and Manasseh, H4519 Issachar, H3485 and Zebulun, H2074 had not cleansed H2891 themselves, yet H3588 did they eat H398 the passover H6453 otherwise H3808 than it was written. H3789 But Hezekiah H2396 prayed H6419 for them, saying, H559 The good H2896 LORD H3068 pardon H3722 every H3605 one

And the LORD H3068 listened H8085 to Hezekiah, H2396 and healed H7495 the people. H5971
