Translation and Transliteration of 

1Chizkiyahu became king at the age of twenty-five, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim; his mother's name was Aviya daughter of Zecharya.

2He did what was pleasing to Hashem, just as his father David had done.

3He, in the first month of the first year of his reign, opened the doors of the House of Hashem and repaired them.

4He summoned the Kohanim and the Leviim and assembled them in the east square.

5He said to them, “Listen to me, Leviim! Sanctify yourselves and sanctify the House of God of your fathers, and take the abhorrent things out of the holy place.

6For our fathers trespassed and did what displeased Hashem our God; they forsook Him and turned their faces away from the dwelling-place of Hashem, turning their backs on it.

7They also shut the doors of the porch and put out the lights; they did not offer incense and did not make burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Yisrael.

8The wrath of Hashem was upon Yehuda and Yerushalayim; He made them an object of horror, amazement, and hissing as you see with your own eyes.

9Our fathers died by the sword, and our sons and daughters and wives are in captivity on account of this.

10Now I wish to make a covenant with God of Yisrael, so that His rage may be withdrawn from us.

11Now, my sons, do not be slack, for Hashem chose you to attend upon Him, to serve Him, to be His ministers and to make offerings to Him.”

15and, gathering their brothers, they sanctified themselves and came, by a command of the king concerning Hashem's ordinances, to purify the House of Hashem.

16The Kohanim went into the House of Hashem to purify it, and brought all the unclean things they found in the Temple of Hashem out into the court of the House of Hashem; [there] the Leviim received them, to take them outside to Wadi Kidron.

17They began the sanctification on the first day of the first month; on the eighth day of the month they reached the porch of Hashem. They sanctified the House of Hashem for eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

18Then they went into the palace of King Chizkiyahu and said, “We have purified the whole House of Hashem and the mizbayach of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the table of the bread of display and all its utensils;

21They brought seven bulls and seven rams and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin offering for the kingdom and for the Sanctuary and for Yehuda. He ordered the Aaronite Kohanim to offer them on the mizbayach of Hashem.

22The cattle were slaughtered, and the Kohanim received the blood and dashed it against the mizbayach; the rams were slaughtered and the blood was dashed against the mizbayach; the lambs were slaughtered and the blood was dashed against the mizbayach.

24The Kohanim slaughtered them and performed the purgation rite with the blood against the mizbayach, to expiate for all Yisrael, for the king had designated the burnt offering and the sin offering to be for all Yisrael.

25He stationed the Leviim in the House of Hashem with cymbals and harps and lyres, as David and Gad the king's seer and Natan the Navi had ordained, for the ordinance was by Hashem through His Neviim.

27Chizkiyahu gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the mizbayach. When the burnt offering began, the song of Hashem and the trumpets began also, together with the instruments of King David of Yisrael.

29When the offering was finished, the king and all who were there with him knelt and prostrated themselves.

29:29   Knelt and prostrated themselves

Chizkiyahu institutes great reform in the kingdom of Yehuda. He abolishes the idolatry established by his father Achaz, reopens and cleanses the Beit Hamikdash, brings back the Kohanim and Leviim and reinstitutes the sacrificial offerings to Hashem. After the offerings are brought, the people “knelt and prostrated themselves” to Hashem. Once the Beit Hamikdash has been rededicated to the worship of God through true sacrifices offered with “a willing heart” (verse 31), Hashem’s presence returns to the Beit Hamikdash, necessitating prostration. Similarly, in our lives, God rests among those who are willing to sacrifice of themselves for Him.

30King Chizkiyahu and the officers ordered the Leviim to praise Hashem in the words of David and Asaf the seer; so they praised rapturously, and they bowed and prostrated themselves.

vai-YO-mer ye-khiz-ki-YA-hu ha-ME-lekh v'-ha-sa-REEM la-le-vee-YIM l'-ha-LEL la-do-NAI b'-div-RAY da-VEED v'-a-SAF ha-KHO-zeh, vai-hal-LU ad l'-si-m'-KHA, vai-yi-k'-DU vai-yish-ta-KHA-vu.

31Then Chizkiyahu said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves to Hashem; come, bring sacrifices of well-being and thanksgiving to the House of Hashem.” The congregation brought sacrifices of well-being and thanksgiving, and all who felt so moved brought burnt offerings.

32The number of burnt offerings that the congregation brought was 70 cattle, 100 rams, 200 lambs—all these for burnt offerings to Hashem.

34The Kohanim were too few to be able to flay all the burnt offerings, so their kinsmen, the Leviim, reinforced them till the end of the work, and till the [rest of the] Kohanim sanctified themselves. (The Leviim were more conscientious about sanctifying themselves than the Kohanim.)

35For beside the large number of burnt offerings, there were the fat parts of the sacrifices of well-being and the libations for the burnt offerings; so the service of the House of Hashem was properly accomplished.
