2 Chronicles 30:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ For a multitude of the people, ^(A)even many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, ^(B)yet they ate the Passover ^(C)otherwise than ^[a]prescribed. For Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the good Lord pardon ^19 (D)everyone who prepares his heart to seek God, the Lord God of his fathers, though not according to the purification rules of the sanctuary.” ²⁰ So the Lord heard Hezekiah and ^(E)healed the people.
