´ëÇÏ 29:1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and
he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mo ther's name was Abijah
daughter of Zechariah.
´ëÇÏ 29:2 He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his
father David had done.
´ëÇÏ29:3 È÷½º±â¾ßÀÇ °³Çõ
´ëÇÏ 29:3 In the first month of the first year of his reign, he opened
the doors of the temple of the LORD and repaired them.
´ëÇÏ 29:4 He brought in the priests and the Levites, assembled them
in the square on the east side
´ëÇÏ 29:5 and said: "Listen to me, Levites! Consecrate yourselves now
and consecrate the temple of the LORD, the G od of your fathers. Remove
all defilement from the sanctuary.
´ëÇÏ 29:6 Our fathers were unfaithful; they did evil in the eyes of
the LORD our God and forsook him. They turned their faces away from the
LORD'S dwelling place and turned their backs on him.
´ëÇÏ 29:7 They also shut the doors of the portico and put out the lamps.
They did not burn incense or present any burnt offerings at the sanctuary
to the God of Israel.
´ëÇÏ 29:8 Therefore, the anger of the LORD has fallen on Judah and
Jerusalem; he has made them an object of dread and h orror and scorn, as
you can see with your own eyes.
´ëÇÏ 29:9 This is why our fathers have fallen by the sword and why
our sons and daughters and our wives are in captivit y.
´ëÇÏ 29:10 Now I intend to make a covenant with the LORD, the God of
Israel, so that his fierce anger will turn away fr om us.
´ëÇÏ 29:11 My sons, do not be negligent now, for the LORD has chosen
you to stand before him and serve him, to minister before him and to burn
incense."
´ëÇÏ 29:12 Then these Levites set to work: from the Kohathites, Mahath
son of Amasai and Joel son of Azariah; from the Merarites, Kish son of
Abdi and Azariah son of Jehallelel; from the Gershonites, Joah son of Zimmah
and Eden son of Joah ;
´ëÇÏ 29:13 from the descendants of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; from
the descendants of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
´ëÇÏ 29:14 from the descendants of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; from the
descendants of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
´ëÇÏ 29:15 When they had assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves,
they went in to purify the temple of the LORD, as the king had ordered,
following the word of the LORD.
´ëÇÏ 29:16 The priests went into the sanctuary of the LORD to purify
it. They brought out to the courtyard of the LORD' S temple everything
unclean that they found in the temple of the LORD. The Levites took it
and carried it out to the Kid ron Valley.
´ëÇÏ 29:17 They began the consecration on the first day of the first
month, and by the eighth day of the month they rea ched the portico of
the LORD. For eight more days they consecrated the temple of the LORD itself,
finishing on the sixte enth day of the first month.
´ëÇÏ 29:18 Then they went in to King Hezekiah and reported: "We have
purified the entire temple of the LORD, the a ltar of burnt offering with
all its utensils, and the table for setting out the consecrated bread,
with all its articles .
´ëÇÏ 29:19 We have prepared and consecrated all the articles that King
Ahaz removed in his unfaithfulness while he was king. They are now in front
of the LORD'S altar."
´ëÇÏ29:20 ¼ºÀüÀÇ Á¦»ç
´ëÇÏ 29:20 Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials
together and went up to the temple of the L ORD.
´ëÇÏ 29:21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs and
seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdo m, for the sanctuary
and for Judah. The king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron,
to offer these on the alta r of the LORD.
´ëÇÏ 29:22 So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the
blood and sprinkled it on the altar; next they slaug htered the rams and
sprinkled their blood on the altar; then they slaughtered the lambs and
sprinkled their blood on the altar.
´ëÇÏ 29:23 The goats for the sin offering were brought before the king
and the assembly, and they laid their hands on t hem.
´ëÇÏ 29:24 The priests then slaughtered the goats and presented their
blood on the altar for a sin offering to atone fo r all Israel, because
the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.
´ëÇÏ 29:25 He stationed the Levites in the temple of the LORD with
cymbals, harps and lyres in the way prescribed by Da vid and Gad the king's
seer and Nathan the prophet; this was commanded by the LORD through his
prophets.
´ëÇÏ 29:26 So the Levites stood ready with David's instruments, and
the priests with their trumpets.
´ëÇÏ 29:27 Hezekiah gave the order to sacrifice the burnt offering
on the altar. As the offering began, singing to the LORD began also, accompanied
by trumpets and the instruments of David king of Israel.
´ëÇÏ 29:28 The whole assembly bowed in worship, while the singers sang
and the trumpeters played. All this continued un til the sacrifice of the
burnt offering was completed.
´ëÇÏ 29:29 When the offerings were finished, the king and everyone
present with him knelt down and worshiped.
´ëÇÏ 29:30 King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to praise
the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises
with gladness and bowed their heads and worshiped.
´ëÇÏ29:31 ¹é¼ºµéÀÇ ¿¹¹°
´ëÇÏ 29:31 Then Hezekiah said, "You have now dedicated yourselves to
the LORD. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the temple of
the LORD." So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and
all whose hearts were willing brought burnt offerings.
´ëÇÏ 29:32 The number of burnt offerings the assembly brought was seventy
bulls, a hundred rams and two hundred male la mbs--all of them for burnt
offerings to the LORD.
´ëÇÏ 29:33 The animals consecrated as sacrifices amounted to six hundred
bulls and three thousand sheep and goats.
´ëÇÏ 29:34 The priests, however, were too few to skin all the burnt
offerings; so their kinsmen the Levites helped them until the task was
finished and until other priests had been consecrated, for the Levites
had been more conscientious i n consecrating themselves than the priests
had been.
´ëÇÏ 29:35 There were burnt offerings in abundance, together with the
fat of the fellowship offerings and the drink off erings that accompanied
the burnt offerings. So the service of the temple of the LORD was reestablished.
´ëÇÏ 29:36 Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced at what God had brought
about for his people, because it was done so quickly. |
