15 And they gathered together their brothers. And they were sanctified. And they entered in accord with the command of the king and the order of the Lord, so that they might expiate the house of God.

and to gather [obj] brother: male-sibling their and to consecrate: consecate and to come (in): come like/as commandment [the] king in/on/with word LORD to/for be pure house: temple LORD

16 And the priests, entering the temple of the Lord so that they might sanctify it, took every uncleanness, which they had found inside, out to the vestibule of the house of the Lord; and the Levites took it away and transported it outside, to the torrent Kidron.

17 Now they began to cleanse on the first day of the first month. And on the eighth day of the same month, they entered the portico of the temple of the Lord. And then they expiated the temple over eight days. And on the sixteenth day of the same month, they finished what they had begun.

18 Also, they entered to king Hezekiah, and they said to him: “We have sanctified the entire house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and its vessels, indeed also the table of the presence, with all its vessels,

and to come (in): come within to(wards) Hezekiah [the] king and to say be pure [obj] all house: temple LORD [obj] altar [the] burnt offering and [obj] all article/utensil his and [obj] table [the] row and [obj] all article/utensil his

21 And together they offered seven bulls and seven rams, seven lambs and seven he-goats, for sin, for the kingdom, for the Sanctuary, for Judah. And he spoke to the priests, the sons of Aaron, so that they would offer these upon the altar of the Lord.

and to come (in): bring bullock seven and ram seven and lamb seven and male goat goat seven to/for sin: sin offering upon [the] kingdom and upon [the] sanctuary and upon Judah and to say to/for son: descendant/people Aaron [the] priest to/for to ascend: offer up upon altar LORD

22 And so they slaughtered the bulls. And the priests took up the blood, and they poured it upon the altar. Then they also slaughtered the rams, and they poured their blood upon the altar. And they immolated the lambs, and they poured the blood upon the altar.

and to slaughter [the] cattle and to receive [the] priest [obj] [the] blood and to scatter [the] altar [to] and to slaughter [the] ram and to scatter [the] blood [the] altar [to] and to slaughter [the] lamb and to scatter [the] blood [the] altar [to]

and to approach: bring [obj] he-goat [the] sin: sin offering to/for face: before [the] king and [the] assembly and to support hand their upon them

24 And the priests immolated them, and they sprinkled their blood before the altar, for the expiation of all Israel. For certainly the king had instructed that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made on behalf of all Israel.

and to slaughter them [the] priest and to sin [obj] blood their [the] altar [to] to/for to atone upon all Israel for to/for all Israel to say [the] king [the] burnt offering and [the] sin: sin offering

25 Also, he situated the Levites in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps, according to the disposition of king David, and of the seer Gad, and of the prophet Nathan. For indeed, this was the precept of the Lord, by the hand of his prophets.

and to stand: stand [obj] [the] Levi house: temple LORD in/on/with cymbal in/on/with harp and in/on/with lyre in/on/with commandment David and Gad seer [the] king and Nathan [the] prophet for in/on/with hand: to LORD [the] commandment in/on/with hand: to prophet his

26 And the Levites stood, holding the musical instruments of David, and the priests held the trumpets.

and to stand: stand [the] Levi in/on/with article/utensil David and [the] priest in/on/with trumpet

27 And Hezekiah ordered that they should offer holocausts upon the altar. And when the holocausts were being offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound the trumpets, and to play various musical instruments, which David, the king of Israel, had prepared.

and to say Hezekiah to/for to ascend: offer up [the] burnt offering to/for [the] altar and in/on/with time to profane/begin: begin [the] burnt offering to profane/begin: begin song LORD and [the] trumpet and upon hand: to article/utensil David king Israel

28 Then the entire crowd was adoring, and the singers and those who were holding the trumpeters were exercising their office, until the holocaust was completed.

and all [the] assembly to bow and [the] song to sing and [the] trumpet (to blow *Q(k)*) [the] all till to/for to end: finish [the] burnt offering

29 And when the oblation was finished, the king, and all who were with him, bowed down and adored.

and like/as to end: finish to/for to ascend: offer up to bow [the] king and all [the] to find with him and to bow

30 And Hezekiah and the rulers instructed the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and of Asaph, the seer. And they praised him with great joy, and kneeling down, they adored.

and to say Hezekiah [the] king and [the] ruler to/for Levi to/for to boast: praise to/for LORD in/on/with word David and Asaph [the] seer and to boast: praise till to/for joy and to bow and to bow

31 And now Hezekiah also added: “You have filled your hands for the Lord. Draw near, and offer victims and praises in the house of the Lord.” Therefore, the entire multitude offered victims and praises and holocausts, with devout intention.

and to answer Hezekiah and to say now to fill hand: donate your to/for LORD to approach: approach and to come (in): bring sacrifice and thanksgiving to/for house: temple LORD and to come (in): bring [the] assembly sacrifice and thanksgiving and all noble: willing heart burnt offering

33 And they sanctified to the Lord six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

and [the] holiness cattle six hundred and flock three thousand

34 Truly, the priests were few; neither were they sufficient to remove the pelts from the holocausts. Therefore, the Levites, their brothers, also assisted them, until the work was completed, and the priests, who were of higher rank, were sanctified. For indeed, the Levites are sanctified with an easier ritual than the priests.

except [the] priest to be to/for little and not be able to/for to strip [obj] all [the] burnt offering and to strengthen: strengthen them brother: male-relative their [the] Levi till to end: finish [the] work and till to consecrate: consecate [the] priest for [the] Levi upright heart to/for to consecrate: consecate from [the] priest

35 Thus, there were very numerous holocausts, with the fat of the peace offerings and the libations of the holocausts. And the service of the house of the Lord was completed.

36 And Hezekiah and all the people were joyful because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For certainly, it had pleased them to do this suddenly.
