the strangers
2 Chronicles 30:11
Still, there were some from the tribes of Asher, Manasseh, and Zebulun who were willing to come to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 30:18
In addition, many of those who had come from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun had not performed the ritual of purification, and so they were observing Passover improperly. King Hezekiah offered this prayer for them:
Exodus 12:43-49
43
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the Passover regulations: No foreigner shall eat the Passover meal,
44
but any slave that you have bought may eat it if you circumcise him first.
45
No temporary resident or hired worker may eat it.
46
The whole meal must be eaten in the house in which it was prepared; it must not be taken outside. And do not break any of the animal's bones.
47
The whole community of Israel must celebrate this festival,
48
but no uncircumcised man may eat it. If a foreigner has settled among you and wants to celebrate Passover to honor the LORD, you must first circumcise all the males of his household. He is then to be treated like a native-born Israelite and may join in the festival.
49
The same regulations apply to native-born Israelites and to foreigners who settle among you."
