I ·will [am about to] build a ·temple [^Lhouse] for ·worshiping [^Lthe name of] the Lord my God, and I will ·give [dedicate] this ·temple [^Lhouse] to him. There we will ·burn sweet-smelling spices [offer fragrant incense] ·in his presence [before him]. We will continually set out the ·holy bread [^Tshowbread] in God’s presence. And we will burn sacrifices every morning and evening, on Sabbath days and New Moons, and on the other feast days ·commanded [appointed; prescribed] by the Lord our God. This ·is a rule for Israel to obey forever [^Lpermanently in/upon Israel].

He ·offered [sacrificed] sacrifices ·every day [according to the daily requirements/rule] as Moses had commanded.

A few years later Jehoshaphat went to visit Ahab in Samaria. Ahab ·sacrificed [slaughtered] many sheep and ·cattle [oxen] ·as a great feast to honor Jehoshaphat [^Lfor him] and the ·people [officials] with him. He ·encouraged [enticed; persuaded; induced] Jehoshaphat to attack Ramoth in Gilead.

In the second month a very large crowd came together in Jerusalem to ·celebrate [keep; observe] the ·Feast [Festival] of Unleavened Bread.

The Israelites in Jerusalem ·celebrated [kept; observed] the ·Feast [Festival] of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and priests praised the Lord every day with loud ·music [instruments].

Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who showed ·they understood well how to do [or good skill in] their service for the Lord. The people ate the feast for seven days, ·offered [sacrificed] ·fellowship [or peace; well-being] offerings [Lev. 3:1], and ·praised [gave thanks to] the Lord, the God of their ·ancestors [fathers].

Hezekiah gave some of his own animals for the burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17], which were given every morning and evening, on Sabbath days, during New Moons, and at other feasts ·commanded [prescribed] in the Lord’s ·Teachings [instructions; laws].

The Israelites who were there ·celebrated [kept; observed] the Passover and the ·Feast [Festival] of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
