[30:22] After the seven days during which they offered sacrifices in praise of the Lord, the God of their ancestors,
[30:23] they all decided to celebrate for another seven days. So they celebrated with joy.
[30:24] King Hezekiah contributed 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep for the people to kill and eat, and the officials gave them another 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep. A large number of priests went through the ritual of purification.
[30:25] So everyone was happy—the people of Judah, the priests, the Levites, the people who had come from the north, and the foreigners who had settled permanently in Israel and Judah.
[30:26] The city of Jerusalem was filled with joy, because nothing like this had happened since the days of King Solomon, the son of David.
[30:27] The priests and the Levites asked the Lord's blessing on the people. In his home in heaven God heard their prayers and accepted them.
