Passover Reinstituted

²¹ Then the king commanded all the people saying, “^(A)Celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God ^(B)as it is written in this book of the covenant.”

⁵ So they established a decree to circulate a ^[a]proclamation throughout all Israel ^(A)from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was ^[b]prescribed.
