2 Chronicles 30:17-19
New English Translation

17 Because many in the assembly had not consecrated themselves, the Levites slaughtered[a] the Passover lambs of all who were ceremonially unclean and could not consecrate their sacrifice to the Lord.[b] 18 The majority of the many people from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun were ceremonially unclean, yet they ate the Passover in violation of what is prescribed in the law.[c] For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying: “May the Lord, who is good, forgive[d] 19 everyone who has determined to follow God,[e] the Lord God of his ancestors, even if he is not ceremonially clean according to the standards of the temple.”[f]
