2 Chronicles 30:17-19

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁷ For there were many in the assembly who had not set themselves apart as holy; therefore, ^(A)the Levites were over the slaughter of the Passover lambs for everyone who was unclean, in order to set them apart as holy to Yahweh. ¹⁸ For a multitude of the people, ^(B)even many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, ^(C)yet they ate the Passover ^(D)otherwise than what was written. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May Yahweh, who is good, atone ^19 (E)for everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, though not according to the rules of cleansing of the sanctuary.”
