18 For most of HaAm, even many of Ephrayim, and Menasheh, Yissakhar, and Zevulun, had not made themselves tahor, yet did they eat the Pesach contrary to what was written. But Chizkiyah davened for them, saying, May Hashem Hatov grant kapporah to
19 Everyone that prepareth his lev to seek HaElohim, Hashem Elohei Avotav, though he be not tahor according to the taharat HaKodesh.
20 And Hashem paid heed to Chizkiyah, and healed HaAm.
21 And the Bnei Yisroel that were present at Yerushalayim kept the Chag HaMatzot shivat yamim with simchah gedolah; and the Levi'im and the Kohanim praised Hashem yom b'yom, singing with loud instruments unto Hashem.
22 And Chizkiyah spoke words of comfort unto all the Levi'im who taught the seichel tov of Hashem, and they did eat the mo'ed seven days, offering zivkhei shelamim, and making confession to Hashem Elohei Avoteihem.
23 And the kol HaKahal conferred and agreed to celebrate still another shivat yamim; and they kept another shivat yamim with simcha.
24 For Chizkiyah Melech Yehudah did give to the Kahal a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the sarim gave to the Kahal a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of Kohanim set themselves apart as kodesh.
