²⁵ And all the assembly of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the assembly that came out of Israel, and the sojourners that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

¹¹ Nevertheless certain men of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, The good Jehovah pardon every one

⁴³ And Jehovah said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: there shall no foreigner eat thereof;

⁴⁴ but every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

⁴⁵ A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷ All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

⁴⁸ And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹ One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

¹⁰ Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

¹¹ Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

⁴ For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

³⁴ Let thy meditation be sweet unto him: I will rejoice in Jehovah.
