And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

And he told the Levites that were able [to act] in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord. And they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. And the king said, You must not carry anything on your shoulders; now then minister to the Lord your God, and to His people Israel.

And stand in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; [so] also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.

And Josiah gave as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the Passover, [even for] all that were found, in number [amounting to] thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these [were] of the substance of the king.

And Conaniah, Benaiah, Shemaiah, Nethaneel his brother, Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the Passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves.

And they killed the Passover [offerings], and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites skinned [the animals].

And thus [they did] till the morning. And they roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy [pieces] in copper vessels and caldrons, and [the feast] went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people.

And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates-it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

And the children of Israel that were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept, after all these things that Josiah did in the house. And King Josiah burnt those who had in them a divining spirit, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and the sodomites which were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law that were written in the book which Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. There was no [king] like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and all his soul, and all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there rose up none like him. Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the anger of His fierce wrath, wherewith the Lord was greatly angry against Judah, for all the provocations in which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the Lord said, I will even remove Judah also from My presence, as I have removed Israel, and I have rejected the city which I chose, [even] Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.

Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let each man take for himself a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.

It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old. You shall take it from the lambs or from the goats.

And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two doorposts, and on the lintel, in the houses wherever they shall eat them.

You shall not eat of it raw nor boiled in water, but only roasted with fire, the head with its legs and its entrails.

And thus shall you eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you shall eat it in haste. It is a Passover to the Lord.

And the blood shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I smite in the land of Egypt.

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day you shall utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.

And you shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and you shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.

Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whosoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both among the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evening times is the Lord's Passover.

And the first day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no customary work.

Speak, and let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its season.

And Moses ordered the children of Israel to sacrifice the Passover,

And in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, [is] the Passover to the Lord.

And the first day shall be to you a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work.

And their grain offering shall be fine flour mingled with oil; three tenth deals for one calf, and two tenth deals for one ram.

And [you shall offer] one kid of the goats for a sin offering, to make atonement for you.

these shall you thus offer daily for seven days, a gift, a sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savor to the Lord; beside the continual whole burnt offering, you shall offer its drink offering.

Observe the month of new [grain], and you shall sacrifice the Passover to the Lord your God; because in the month of new grain you came out of Egypt by night.

You shall not eat leaven with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened [bread] with it, [the] bread of affliction, because you came forth out of Egypt in haste; that you may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

You shall not have power to sacrifice the Passover in any of the cities, which the Lord your God gives you.

And you shall boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord your God shall choose; and you shall return in the morning, and go to your house.
