|
23:16
And as Josiah°
turned°°
himself, he spied°°°
the sepulchres°
that°
[were] there°
in the mount,°
and sent,°°
and took°°°
the bones°
out of°
the sepulchres,°
and burned°°
[them] upon°
the altar,°
and polluted°°

who°
proclaimed°°°
these°
words.° |

23:17
Then he said,°°
What°
title°

that°
I°
see?°°
And the men°°
of the city°
told°°°
him, [It is] the sepulchre°
of the man°
of Elohim,°
which°
came°°
from Judah,°°
and proclaimed°°°
these°
things°
that°
thou hast done°°
against°

|
23:18
And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So his bones were spared, together with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria. |
|
23:18

Moreover Josiah{gr.Josias} removed all the houses of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel made to provoke the Lord, and did to them all that he did in Bethel{gr.Baethel}. |
|
23:19
And°
all°
the houses°
also°
of the high places°
that°
[were] in the cities°
of Samaria,°
which°
the kings°
of Israel°
had made°°
to provoke [Yahweh] to anger,°°

And he slew°°°
all°
the priests°

upon°
them, and returned°°

commanded°°°
all°
the people,°
saying,°°
Keep°°
the passover°
unto Yahweh°
your Elohim,°
as [it is] written°°
in°
the book°
of this°
covenant.° |
|
23:22
For a passover [such as] this had not been kept from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah{gr.Juda}. |
|
23:22
Surely°
there was not°
holden°°
such°
a passover°
from the days°°
of the judges°°
that°
judged°°°
Israel,°
nor in all°
the days°
of the kings°
of Israel,°
nor of the kings°
of Judah;° |
|
23:23
But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah{gr.Josias}, was the passover kept to the Lord in Jerusalem. |
|
23:23
But°°
in the eighteenth°°
year°
of king°
Josiah,°
[wherein] this°
passover°
was holden°°
to Yahweh°
in Jerusalem.° |
|
23:24 ¶
Moreover Josiah{gr.Josias} removed the sorcerers, and the wizards, and the theraphin, and the idols, and all the abominations that had been set up in the land of Judah{gr.Juda} and in Jerusalem, that he might keep the words of the law that were written in the book, which Hilkiah{gr.Chelcias} the priest found in the house of the Lord. |
|
23:24 ¶
Moreover°°
the [workers with] familiar spirits,°
and the wizards,°
and the images,°
and the idols,°
and all°
the abominations°
that°
were spied°°
in the land°
of Judah°

did Josiah°
put away,°°
that°
he might perform°°°
the words°
of the law°
which were written°°
in°
the book°
that°
Hilkiah°
the priest°
found°°
in the house°
of Yahweh.° |
|
23:25
There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his strength, according to all the law of Mosheh{gr.Moses}; and after him there rose not one like him. |
|
23:25
And like unto him°
was°
there no°
king°
before°
him, that°
turned°°
to°
Yahweh°
with all°
his heart,°
and with all°
his soul,°
and with all°
his might,°
according to all°
the law°
of Moses;°
neither°
after°
him arose°°
there [any] like him.° |
|
23:26 ¶
Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the fierceness of his great anger, wherewith he was wroth in his anger against Judah{gr.Juda}, because of the provocations, wherewith Manasseh{gr.Manasses} provoked him. |
|
23:26 ¶
Notwithstanding°
Yahweh°
turned°°
not°
from the fierceness°°
of his great°
wrath,°
wherewith°
his anger°
was kindled°°
against Judah,°
because°
of all°
the provocations°
that°
Manasseh°
had provoked°°
him withal. |
|
23:27
And the Lord said, I will also remove Judah{gr.Juda} from my presence, as I removed Israel, and will reject this city which I have chosen [even] Jerusalem, and the house [of] which I said, My name shall be there. |
|
23:27
And Yahweh°
said,°°
I will remove°°°
Judah°
also°
out of°°
my sight,°
as°
I have removed°°°
Israel,°
and will cast off°°°
this°
city°°
Jerusalem°
which°
I have chosen,°°
and the house°
of which°
I said,°°
My name°
shall be°
there.° |
|
23:28
And the rest of the acts of Josiah{gr.Josias}, and all that he did, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah{gr.Juda}? |

23:28
Now the rest°
of the acts°

And Pharaoh{gr.Pharao} Nechoh{gr.Nechao} removed him to Rablaam in the land of Hamath{gr.Emath}, so that he should not reign in Jerusalem; and imposed a tribute on the land, a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred talents of gold. |
|
23:33
And Pharaohnechoh°
put him in bands°°
at Riblah°
in the land°
of Hamath,°
that he might not reign°°°
