2 Chronicles 30:3-5

New American Standard Bible

³ since they could not celebrate it ^(A)at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem. ⁴ So the ^[a]decision was right in the sight of the king and all the assembly. ⁵ So they established a decree to circulate a ^[b]proclamation throughout Israel ^(B)from Beersheba to Dan, that they are to come to celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel in Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as was written.
