themselves<00:07:33.860><c> sufficiently,</c><00:07:35.180><c> neither</c><00:07:35.439><c> had</c><00:07:35.600><c> the</c><00:07:35.819><c> people</c><00:07:36.040><c> gathered</c><00:07:36.379><c> themselves</c><00:07:36.899><c> together</c><00:07:37.519><c> to</c><00:07:38.079><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:41.180
So<00:07:39.779><c> there</c><00:07:39.879><c> were</c><00:07:40.000><c> two</c><00:07:40.199><c> problems.</c>

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:43.959
There<00:07:41.920><c> were</c><00:07:42.060><c> two</c><00:07:42.220><c> reasons</c><00:07:42.519><c> why</c><00:07:42.680><c> they</c><00:07:42.839><c> couldn't</c><00:07:43.019><c> keep</c><00:07:43.220><c> the</c><00:07:43.480><c> Passover,</c><00:07:43.819><c> and</c>

00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.639
these<00:07:44.180><c> are</c><00:07:44.740><c> very</c><00:07:45.120><c> consistent</c>

00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.120
with<00:07:45.800><c> what</c><00:07:45.939><c> was</c><00:07:46.180><c> found</c><00:07:46.339><c> in</c><00:07:46.480><c> Numbers</c><00:07:46.800><c> chapter</c><00:07:47.120><c> 9.</c>

00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:51.800
The<00:07:48.319><c> first</c><00:07:48.540><c> problem</c><00:07:48.839><c> was</c><00:07:49.120><c> that</c><00:07:49.360><c> the</c><00:07:49.600><c> priests</c><00:07:49.899><c> weren't</c><00:07:50.279><c> sanctified.</c>

00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.100

temple<00:07:56.339><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:07:57.740 --> 00:07:59.800
And<00:07:57.839><c> the</c><00:07:57.959><c> second</c><00:07:58.139><c> reason</c><00:07:58.399><c> was</c><00:07:58.620><c> that</c><00:07:58.860><c> the</c><00:07:59.000><c> people</c><00:07:59.220><c> hadn't</c><00:07:59.500><c> been</c>

00:08:01.899 --> 00:08:04.699
So<00:08:02.199><c> if</c><00:08:02.360><c> they</c><00:08:02.500><c> were</c><00:08:02.660><c> going</c><00:08:02.839><c> to</c><00:08:03.019><c> keep</c><00:08:03.160><c> the</c><00:08:03.379><c> Passover,</c><00:08:04.420><c> they</c><00:08:04.519><c> were</c>

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.879

00:08:56.379 --> 00:08:58.779
You<00:08:56.600><c> can</c><00:08:56.759><c> imagine</c><00:08:57.039><c> the</c><00:08:57.299><c> council,</c><00:08:57.740><c> I</c><00:08:57.740><c> think,</c><00:08:58.220><c> the</c><00:08:58.360><c> discussion</c>

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:04.000

00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:26.139
Well,<00:10:20.220><c> in</c><00:10:20.279><c> this,</c><00:10:20.740><c> I</c><00:10:20.759><c> think</c><00:10:20.899><c> we</c><00:10:21.059><c> see</c><00:10:21.259><c> the</c><00:10:21.460><c> compassion</c><00:10:21.879><c> of</c><00:10:22.039><c> Hezekiah</c><00:10:23.240><c> brightly</c><00:10:23.820><c> shining</c><00:10:24.519><c> because</c><00:10:25.720><c> it</c><00:10:25.899><c> turns</c>

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.059
tribes.

00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:36.919
It<00:10:33.519><c> was</c><00:10:33.639><c> like</c><00:10:33.779><c> their</c><00:10:33.960><c> last</c><00:10:34.500><c> call</c><00:10:34.840><c> to</c><00:10:35.039><c> come</c><00:10:35.460><c> and</c><00:10:36.120><c> to</c><00:10:36.360><c> accept</c><00:10:36.659><c> God</c>

00:10:38.419 --> 00:10:41.679
repentance<00:10:38.879><c> because</c><00:10:39.980><c> within</c><00:10:40.340><c> five</c><00:10:40.700><c> years,</c><00:10:41.179><c> the</c><00:10:41.340><c> nation</c><00:10:41.539><c> of</c>

00:10:43.899 --> 00:10:46.659
So<00:10:44.080><c> this</c><00:10:44.279><c> Passover</c><00:10:44.659><c> was</c><00:10:44.899><c> a</c><00:10:45.059><c> very</c><00:10:45.340><c> timely</c><00:10:45.700><c> thing.</c>

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:49.600
It<00:10:47.259><c> was</c><00:10:47.419><c> also</c><00:10:47.639><c> a</c><00:10:47.960><c> groundbreaking</c><00:10:48.480><c> thing</c><00:10:48.820><c> because</c><00:10:49.139><c> it</c><00:10:49.440><c> hadn't</c>

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.799
been<00:10:49.899><c> done</c><00:10:50.120><c> since</c><00:10:50.440><c> the</c><00:10:50.639><c> days</c><00:10:51.320><c> of</c><00:10:51.860><c> Solomon.</c>

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:55.519
But<00:10:54.100><c> there</c><00:10:54.200><c> were</c><00:10:54.360><c> some</c><00:10:54.580><c> challenges.</c>

00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:01.100
The<00:10:57.360><c> people</c><00:10:57.519><c> in</c><00:10:57.700><c> the</c><00:10:57.879><c> north</c><00:10:58.299><c> were</c><00:10:59.639><c> still</c><00:11:00.080><c> largely</c><00:11:00.759><c> following</c>

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:03.740
the<00:11:01.240><c> ways</c><00:11:01.440><c> of</c><00:11:01.679><c> Jeroboam,</c><00:11:03.220><c> and</c><00:11:03.360><c> Jeroboam,</c>

00:11:03.740 --> 00:11:07.820
you<00:11:03.879><c> remember,</c><00:11:04.120><c> had</c><00:11:04.340><c> created</c><00:11:04.740><c> his</c><00:11:05.039><c> own</c><00:11:05.299><c> feasts,</c><00:11:06.200><c> his</c><00:11:06.440><c> own</c><00:11:06.740><c> religion,</c><00:11:07.059><c> which</c><00:11:07.279><c> was</c>

00:11:07.820 --> 00:11:08.639
taking<00:11:08.200><c> the</c><00:11:08.440><c> people</c>

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:12.379
away<00:11:08.940><c> from</c><00:11:09.120><c> God,</c><00:11:10.179><c> and</c><00:11:10.360><c> so</c><00:11:10.460><c> they</c><00:11:10.559><c> were</c><00:11:10.700><c> definitely</c><00:11:11.320><c> a</c><00:11:11.679><c> stray.</c>

00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.539
You<00:11:13.700><c> remember,</c><00:11:14.100><c> Jehoshaphat</c><00:11:14.639><c> had</c><00:11:14.820><c> tried</c><00:11:15.059><c> to</c><00:11:15.360><c> bring</c><00:11:15.580><c> the</c><00:11:15.759><c> nations</c><00:11:16.059><c> together,</c><00:11:16.860><c> and</c>

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:18.299
he<00:11:17.679><c> did</c><00:11:17.820><c> it</c><00:11:17.960><c> by</c><00:11:18.139><c> trying</c>

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:22.779
to<00:11:18.759><c> create</c><00:11:18.779><c> an</c><00:11:19.080><c> alliance</c><00:11:19.820><c> with</c><00:11:20.519><c> Ahab,</c><00:11:22.139><c> and</c><00:11:22.340><c> you</c><00:11:22.460><c> remember</c><00:11:22.639><c> how</c>

00:11:22.779 --> 00:11:24.019
that<00:11:23.200><c> turned</c><00:11:23.399><c> out.</c>

00:11:24.419 --> 00:11:26.879
He<00:11:24.620><c> tried</c><00:11:24.860><c> to</c><00:11:25.240><c> compromise</c><00:11:25.700><c> in</c><00:11:25.899><c> that</c><00:11:26.039><c> case.</c>

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:29.940
Let's<00:11:27.840><c> look</c><00:11:28.019><c> at</c><00:11:28.120><c> verse</c><00:11:28.340><c> 5.</c>

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:34.600
So<00:11:29.960><c> they</c><00:11:30.639><c> established</c><00:11:31.340><c> a</c><00:11:31.559><c> decree</c><00:11:31.860><c> to</c><00:11:32.159><c> make</c><00:11:32.519><c> proclamation</c><00:11:33.179><c> throughout</c><00:11:33.879><c> all</c>

00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:36.799
Israel,<00:11:36.039><c> so</c><00:11:36.259><c> they</c><00:11:36.340><c> decided</c><00:11:36.580><c> to</c>

00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:41.100

00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.039
They<00:11:50.559><c> said,</c><00:11:50.779><c> come</c><00:11:50.879><c> up</c><00:11:51.039><c> to</c><00:11:51.220><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:11:52.139><c> let's</c><00:11:52.360><c> keep</c><00:11:52.559><c> the</c><00:11:52.799><c> Passover,</c><00:11:53.899><c> dedicate</c><00:11:54.299><c> yourselves</c><00:11:54.759><c> unto</c><00:11:54.980><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.879
But<00:11:57.059><c> if</c><00:11:57.159><c> you</c><00:11:57.259><c> lived</c><00:11:57.340><c> in</c><00:11:57.519><c> the</c><00:11:57.659><c> ten</c><00:11:57.820><c> tribes,</c><00:11:59.679><c> it</c><00:11:59.840><c> would</c><00:11:59.899><c> be</c><00:12:00.039><c> a</c><00:12:00.159><c> hard</c><00:12:00.379><c> thing</c><00:12:00.659><c> for</c>

Your<00:12:06.399><c> pride</c><00:12:06.659><c> would</c><00:12:06.879><c> hold</c><00:12:07.100><c> you</c><00:12:07.399><c> back</c><00:12:07.580><c> from</c><00:12:07.799><c> wanting</c><00:12:07.960><c> to</c><00:12:08.159><c> come</c>

We<00:12:44.440><c> first</c><00:12:44.639><c> look</c><00:12:44.799><c> at</c><00:12:44.919><c> this</c><00:12:45.120><c> chapter,</c><00:12:45.559><c> I</c><00:12:45.559><c> think</c><00:12:46.200><c> we</c><00:12:46.519><c> think</c><00:12:47.019><c> there's</c><00:12:48.200><c> a</c>

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:49.320

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.899
We<00:12:51.000><c> think</c><00:12:51.320><c> Hezekiah</c><00:12:51.779><c> is</c><00:12:52.120><c> compromising</c><00:12:53.100><c> God's</c><00:12:54.039><c> commands</c><00:12:54.379><c> and</c>

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.500
Judah<00:17:53.000><c> had</c><00:17:53.299><c> been</c><00:17:53.559><c> through</c><00:17:53.880><c> exactly</c><00:17:54.480><c> the</c><00:17:54.720><c> same</c><00:17:54.900><c> problems</c><00:17:55.259><c> and</c>

00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.960
So<00:17:59.319><c> when</c><00:17:59.500><c> Hezekiah</c><00:18:00.000><c> sends</c><00:18:00.299><c> this</c><00:18:00.579><c> invitation,</c><00:18:02.279><c> he</c><00:18:02.400><c> was</c><00:18:02.539><c> like</c><00:18:02.720><c> a</c>

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.480
The<00:18:15.660><c> truth</c><00:18:15.960><c> sometimes</c><00:18:16.640><c> hurts</c><00:18:17.160><c> when</c><00:18:17.700><c> we</c><00:18:17.880><c> hear</c><00:18:18.000><c> it.</c>

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:26.299
But<00:18:20.160><c> some</c><00:18:20.359><c> people</c><00:18:20.619><c> in</c><00:18:20.740><c> Israel</c><00:18:21.079><c> said,</c><00:18:22.759><c> you</c><00:18:22.839><c> know</c><00:18:23.000><c> what,</c><00:18:24.960><c> Hezekiah's</c><00:18:25.539><c> right.</c>

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.059
We<00:18:27.400><c> see</c><00:18:27.619><c> that.</c>

00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.740
And<00:18:29.299><c> Jerusalem</c><00:18:29.640><c> is</c><00:18:29.880><c> starting</c><00:18:30.160><c> to</c><00:18:30.420><c> have</c><00:18:30.539><c> this</c><00:18:30.880><c> reputation</c><00:18:31.500><c> as</c>

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.660
That's<00:18:34.859><c> different</c><00:18:35.259><c> than</c><00:18:35.539><c> it</c><00:18:35.779><c> was.</c>

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:38.480
And<00:18:37.079><c> people</c><00:18:37.259><c> were</c><00:18:37.460><c> hearing</c><00:18:37.720><c> about</c><00:18:38.019><c> that.</c>

00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:41.599
People<00:18:39.059><c> were</c><00:18:39.299><c> getting</c><00:18:39.519><c> that</c><00:18:39.799><c> feeling</c><00:18:40.059><c> that</c><00:18:40.200><c> we</c><00:18:40.400><c> have</c><00:18:40.519><c> in</c><00:18:40.680><c> Isaiah</c><00:18:40.960><c> chapter</c><00:18:41.279><c> 2,</c>

00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.119
which<00:18:42.059><c> by</c><00:18:42.359><c> the</c><00:18:42.519><c> way</c><00:18:42.619><c> is</c><00:18:42.779><c> also</c>

00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:44.519

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:47.519
Those<00:18:44.759><c> same</c><00:18:45.579><c> words</c><00:18:45.819><c> are</c><00:18:46.039><c> found</c><00:18:46.180><c> there.</c>

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:49.519
But<00:18:48.400><c> not</c><00:18:48.599><c> everybody.</c>

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:52.319
So<00:18:50.200><c> let's</c><00:18:50.380><c> look</c><00:18:50.599><c> at</c><00:18:50.920><c> 2</c><00:18:51.099><c> Chronicles</c><00:18:51.539><c> 30</c><00:18:51.859><c> verse</c><00:18:52.099><c> 10.</c>

00:18:52.319 --> 00:18:57.220
It<00:18:52.400><c> says,</c><00:18:52.779><c> so</c><00:18:52.779><c> the</c><00:18:52.940><c> posts</c><00:18:53.660><c> passed</c><00:18:54.460><c> from</c><00:18:54.720><c> city</c><00:18:54.980><c> to</c><00:18:55.220><c> city</c><00:18:55.920><c> throughout</c><00:18:56.599><c> the</c><00:18:56.779><c> country</c><00:18:57.039><c> of</c>

Ephraim<00:18:58.160><c> and</c>

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.480
Manasseh,<00:18:58.980><c> even</c><00:18:59.240><c> unto</c><00:18:59.460><c> Zebulun.</c>

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.680
But<00:19:02.220><c> they</c><00:19:02.420><c> left</c><00:19:02.619><c> them</c><00:19:03.220><c> to</c><00:19:03.519><c> scorn.</c>

00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:05.940
And<00:19:05.359><c> they</c><00:19:05.519><c> mocked</c><00:19:05.819><c> them.</c>

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:11.000
So<00:19:06.140><c> there</c><00:19:06.319><c> we</c><00:19:06.559><c> see</c><00:19:07.180><c> the</c><00:19:07.799><c> pride,</c><00:19:09.200><c> that</c><00:19:09.500><c> pride</c><00:19:09.779><c> which</c><00:19:10.059><c> completely</c><00:19:10.619><c> stopped</c>

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.920
them<00:19:11.240><c> from</c><00:19:11.740><c> being</c><00:19:12.000><c> able</c><00:19:12.259><c> to</c>

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.500
come<00:19:13.240><c> to</c><00:19:13.420><c> the</c><00:19:13.619><c> Passover,</c><00:19:14.440><c> which</c><00:19:14.740><c> completely</c><00:19:15.440><c> stopped</c><00:19:15.960><c> them</c>

00:19:16.500 --> 00:19:18.740
from<00:19:17.099><c> being</c><00:19:17.440><c> saved</c><00:19:17.839><c> from</c><00:19:18.079><c> the</c><00:19:18.259><c> Assyrians,</c>

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:20.880
was<00:19:19.440><c> the</c><00:19:19.660><c> ultimate</c><00:19:19.940><c> effect</c><00:19:20.240><c> of</c><00:19:20.400><c> that.</c>

00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:23.500

00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.859
But<00:19:23.980><c> they</c><00:19:24.099><c> left</c><00:19:24.339><c> them</c><00:19:24.519><c> to</c><00:19:24.779><c> scorn</c><00:19:25.220><c> and</c><00:19:26.200><c> they</c><00:19:26.440><c> refused</c><00:19:26.660><c> to</c>

00:19:26.859 --> 00:19:28.279
humble<00:19:27.059><c> themselves.</c>

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.619
Verse<00:19:28.980><c> 11</c><00:19:29.279><c> says,</c><00:19:29.680><c> nevertheless,</c><00:19:31.279><c> divers</c><00:19:31.799><c> of</c><00:19:32.059><c> Asher,</c><00:19:32.880><c> Manasseh,</c><00:19:33.460><c> and</c>

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:36.740
Zebulun<00:19:34.619><c> humbled</c><00:19:35.259><c> themselves.</c>

00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:39.619
And<00:19:37.920><c> they</c><00:19:38.079><c> came</c><00:19:38.440><c> to</c><00:19:38.680><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:42.839
They<00:19:41.039><c> humbled</c><00:19:41.240><c> themselves</c><00:19:41.700><c> because</c><00:19:41.980><c> they</c><00:19:42.180><c> said,</c><00:19:42.400><c> Hezekiah,</c>

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:44.000
you're<00:19:43.140><c> right.</c>

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:47.680
We<00:19:45.700><c> are</c><00:19:46.279><c> a</c><00:19:46.480><c> wretched</c><00:19:46.740><c> people.</c>

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.839
We<00:19:48.019><c> do</c><00:19:48.259><c> have</c><00:19:48.559><c> problems.</c>

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:50.960
We've<00:19:49.220><c> made</c><00:19:49.559><c> mistakes.</c>

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.119
And<00:19:52.460><c> they</c><00:19:52.559><c> said,</c><00:19:52.720><c> I'm</c><00:19:52.900><c> dedicated</c><00:19:53.380><c> to</c><00:19:54.200><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:29.079
That's<00:20:25.440><c> the</c><00:20:25.799><c> convincing</c><00:20:26.299><c> factor</c><00:20:26.720><c> for</c><00:20:26.940><c> all</c><00:20:27.140><c> of</c><00:20:27.200><c> us</c><00:20:27.319><c> is</c><00:20:27.480><c> the</c><00:20:27.660><c> word</c><00:20:27.799><c> of</c><00:20:27.980><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:21:54.059 --> 00:21:56.700
They<00:21:54.240><c> were</c><00:21:54.640><c> caught</c><00:21:54.819><c> off</c><00:21:55.119><c> guard,</c><00:21:55.279><c> if</c><00:21:55.420><c> you</c><00:21:55.579><c> will,</c><00:21:55.980><c> at</c><00:21:56.200><c> how</c><00:21:56.400><c> fast</c>

00:22:01.420 --> 00:22:05.839
But<00:22:01.799><c> they</c><00:22:03.220><c> were</c><00:22:03.500><c> ashamed,</c><00:22:04.339><c> and</c><00:22:04.420><c> then</c><00:22:04.500><c> they</c><00:22:04.759><c> sanctified</c><00:22:05.160><c> themselves,</c><00:22:05.779><c> and</c>

which<00:22:51.059><c> they</c><00:22:51.299><c> received</c><00:22:51.640><c> at</c><00:22:51.779><c> the</c><00:22:51.980><c> hand</c><00:22:52.740><c> of</c><00:22:52.960><c> the</c><00:22:53.079><c> Levites.</c>

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:58.339
But<00:22:54.599><c> there</c><00:22:54.700><c> were</c><00:22:54.900><c> many</c><00:22:55.140><c> in</c><00:22:55.299><c> the</c><00:22:55.559><c> congregation</c><00:22:56.059><c> that</c><00:22:56.359><c> were</c><00:22:56.619><c> not</c><00:22:57.759><c> sanctified.</c>

00:22:58.339 --> 00:23:00.539
So<00:22:58.519><c> we</c><00:22:58.640><c> find</c><00:22:59.000><c> that</c><00:22:59.240><c> there's</c><00:22:59.460><c> a</c><00:22:59.680><c> problem.</c>

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:03.960
So<00:23:01.099><c> there</c><00:23:01.200><c> were</c><00:23:01.359><c> many</c><00:23:01.619><c> people</c><00:23:01.880><c> that</c><00:23:02.079><c> weren't</c><00:23:02.359><c> sanctified,</c><00:23:03.740><c> and</c><00:23:03.839><c> so</c>

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.339
the<00:23:04.180><c> priests</c><00:23:04.539><c> and</c><00:23:05.519><c> the</c><00:23:05.660><c> Levites</c><00:23:06.000><c> were</c><00:23:06.180><c> the</c>

00:23:06.339 --> 00:23:10.019
ones<00:23:06.500><c> that</c><00:23:06.660><c> were</c><00:23:06.880><c> doing</c><00:23:07.079><c> the</c><00:23:07.359><c> work</c><00:23:07.660><c> of</c><00:23:08.299><c> killing</c><00:23:08.660><c> the</c><00:23:09.140><c> offerings.</c>

00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.359
The<00:23:10.740><c> priests</c><00:23:11.200><c> and</c><00:23:11.859><c> the</c><00:23:11.980><c> Levites</c><00:23:12.240><c> were</c><00:23:12.420><c> doing</c><00:23:12.640><c> that</c><00:23:12.940><c> because</c>

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:15.519
the<00:23:13.920><c> people</c><00:23:14.099><c> were</c><00:23:14.380><c> unclean.</c>

00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:18.700
So<00:23:16.140><c> it</c><00:23:16.180><c> says,</c><00:23:16.819><c> therefore,</c><00:23:17.099><c> the</c><00:23:17.259><c> Levites</c><00:23:17.619><c> had</c><00:23:17.799><c> charged</c><00:23:18.119><c> the</c><00:23:18.359><c> killing</c><00:23:18.559><c> of</c>

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.579
the<00:23:18.880><c> Passover's</c><00:23:19.940><c> for</c><00:23:20.180><c> everyone</c>

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:24.440
that<00:23:20.759><c> was</c><00:23:20.980><c> not</c><00:23:21.279><c> clean</c><00:23:21.599><c> to</c><00:23:22.259><c> sanctify</c><00:23:22.779><c> them</c><00:23:23.180><c> unto</c><00:23:23.420><c> the</c><00:23:23.660><c> Lord.</c>

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:29.119
So<00:23:25.640><c> we</c><00:23:25.779><c> have</c><00:23:26.039><c> our</c><00:23:26.579><c> six</c><00:23:26.880><c> shepherds</c><00:23:28.099><c> and</c><00:23:28.359><c> our</c><00:23:28.539><c> eight</c><00:23:28.740><c> principal</c>

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.619
men,<00:23:29.400><c> and</c><00:23:29.480><c> they're</c><00:23:29.660><c> helping</c><00:23:29.960><c> out</c><00:23:30.319><c> where</c>

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:33.980
they<00:23:30.819><c> need</c><00:23:31.019><c> to</c><00:23:31.180><c> help</c><00:23:31.359><c> out</c><00:23:32.220><c> in</c><00:23:32.420><c> an</c><00:23:32.619><c> attempt</c><00:23:32.799><c> to</c><00:23:33.019><c> meet</c><00:23:33.140><c> the</c><00:23:33.380><c> requirements</c><00:23:33.779><c> of</c>

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.940
the<00:23:34.079><c> law.</c>

00:23:37.420 --> 00:23:39.859
It's<00:23:37.940><c> important,</c><00:23:38.119><c> I</c><00:23:38.259><c> think,</c><00:23:38.440><c> to</c><00:23:38.619><c> realize</c><00:23:38.880><c> as</c><00:23:39.180><c> we</c><00:23:39.339><c> get</c><00:23:39.480><c> to</c><00:23:39.640><c> this</c>

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:42.059
point<00:23:40.240><c> that</c><00:23:41.200><c> the</c><00:23:41.440><c> people</c><00:23:41.660><c> weren't</c>

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:45.619
thinking<00:23:42.579><c> that</c><00:23:43.039><c> not</c><00:23:43.480><c> being</c><00:23:43.940><c> prepared</c><00:23:44.519><c> or</c><00:23:44.859><c> sanctified</c><00:23:45.460><c> for</c>

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:48.000
the<00:23:45.819><c> Passover,</c><00:23:47.099><c> we're</c><00:23:47.420><c> not</c><00:23:47.660><c> thinking</c><00:23:47.839><c> that</c>

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.740
it<00:23:48.079><c> was</c><00:23:48.279><c> important</c><00:23:48.680><c> because</c><00:23:49.099><c> it</c><00:23:49.460><c> was</c><00:23:49.720><c> important.</c>

00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:53.680
They're<00:23:51.240><c> not</c><00:23:51.579><c> saying</c><00:23:51.940><c> that</c><00:23:52.180><c> they</c><00:23:52.740><c> deserve</c><00:23:53.160><c> to</c><00:23:53.359><c> partake</c><00:23:53.579><c> of</c>

00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:55.799
the<00:23:53.859><c> Passover</c><00:23:54.259><c> since</c><00:23:55.319><c> they</c><00:23:55.480><c> had</c><00:23:55.700><c> come</c>

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:57.259
all<00:23:56.019><c> this</c><00:23:56.259><c> way.</c>

00:23:57.819 --> 00:24:01.299
The<00:23:58.059><c> people</c><00:23:58.319><c> were</c><00:23:58.700><c> striving</c><00:23:59.039><c> to</c><00:23:59.259><c> do</c><00:23:59.480><c> things</c><00:23:59.759><c> the</c><00:23:59.960><c> right</c><00:24:00.220><c> way.</c>

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:05.099
And<00:24:01.640><c> normally,</c><00:24:02.640><c> the</c><00:24:02.759><c> father</c><00:24:03.079><c> of</c><00:24:03.259><c> the</c><00:24:03.440><c> family,</c><00:24:04.440><c> who</c><00:24:04.660><c> slew</c><00:24:04.920><c> the</c>

00:24:05.099 --> 00:24:07.599

00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.980
priest<00:24:07.980><c> so</c><00:24:08.920><c> that</c><00:24:09.039><c> it</c><00:24:09.079><c> could</c><00:24:09.259><c> be</c><00:24:09.500><c> sprinkled</c><00:24:09.740><c> upon</c><00:24:09.960><c> the</c><00:24:10.200><c> altar.</c>

00:24:11.460 --> 00:24:14.380
And<00:24:11.759><c> here</c><00:24:11.880><c> the</c><00:24:12.079><c> Levites</c><00:24:12.420><c> did</c><00:24:12.599><c> it</c><00:24:12.799><c> because</c><00:24:13.140><c> some</c><00:24:13.700><c> of</c><00:24:13.799><c> the</c><00:24:13.960><c> people</c><00:24:14.119><c> were</c>

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:15.720
not<00:24:14.880><c> clean.</c>

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.099
So<00:24:16.059><c> they</c><00:24:16.200><c> found</c><00:24:16.460><c> a</c><00:24:16.640><c> way</c><00:24:16.779><c> to</c><00:24:17.079><c> overcome</c><00:24:17.420><c> that</c><00:24:17.779><c> problem,</c><00:24:18.599><c> but</c><00:24:18.779><c> there</c><00:24:18.920><c> was</c>

00:24:19.099 --> 00:24:20.579
still<00:24:19.319><c> another</c><00:24:19.660><c> problem.</c>

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:22.700
And<00:24:20.880><c> the</c><00:24:20.980><c> other</c><00:24:21.180><c> problem</c><00:24:21.460><c> was</c><00:24:21.700><c> that</c><00:24:21.960><c> some</c><00:24:22.220><c> of</c><00:24:22.359><c> the</c><00:24:22.500><c> people</c>

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.640
that<00:24:22.920><c> weren't</c><00:24:23.119><c> clean</c><00:24:23.420><c> were</c><00:24:23.819><c> also</c><00:24:24.880><c> partaking</c>

00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:26.980
of<00:24:26.380><c> the</c><00:24:26.619><c> Passover.</c>

00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.240
They<00:24:27.660><c> were</c><00:24:27.880><c> eating</c><00:24:28.119><c> the</c><00:24:28.359><c> Passover</c><00:24:28.660><c> when</c><00:24:28.880><c> they</c><00:24:29.019><c> shouldn't</c>

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:30.140
have<00:24:29.440><c> done</c><00:24:29.640><c> that.</c>

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.720
In<00:24:30.700><c> verse</c><00:24:30.960><c> 18,</c><00:24:32.259><c> it</c><00:24:32.299><c> says,</c><00:24:33.099><c> for</c><00:24:33.099><c> a</c><00:24:33.400><c> multitude</c><00:24:33.779><c> of</c><00:24:33.940><c> the</c><00:24:34.140><c> people,</c>

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:37.059
even<00:24:35.279><c> Avifriim</c><00:24:35.839><c> and</c><00:24:35.960><c> Manasseh,</c><00:24:36.680><c> Issachar</c>

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:41.940
and<00:24:37.119><c> Zebulon,</c><00:24:38.299><c> had</c><00:24:38.460><c> not</c><00:24:38.759><c> cleansed</c><00:24:39.119><c> themselves,</c><00:24:41.019><c> yet</c><00:24:41.319><c> did</c><00:24:41.539><c> they</c><00:24:41.720><c> eat</c>

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:43.480
the<00:24:42.220><c> Passover</c><00:24:42.559><c> otherwise</c><00:24:43.259><c> than</c>

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.740
it<00:24:43.640><c> was</c><00:24:43.740><c> written.</c>

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:51.140
But<00:24:46.900><c> Hezekiah</c><00:24:47.180><c> prayed</c><00:24:47.519><c> for</c><00:24:47.640><c> them,</c><00:24:48.180><c> saying,</c><00:24:50.119><c> Good</c><00:24:50.440><c> Yahweh,</c>

00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:53.259
pardon<00:24:51.960><c> everyone.</c>

00:24:54.859 --> 00:24:57.900
So<00:24:55.059><c> Hezekiah</c><00:24:55.500><c> stands</c><00:24:55.819><c> up</c><00:24:56.180><c> and</c><00:24:56.339><c> he</c><00:24:56.559><c> prays</c><00:24:56.740><c> for</c><00:24:56.900><c> them.</c>

00:24:57.940 --> 00:25:02.180
So<00:24:58.140><c> the</c><00:24:58.299><c> situation</c><00:24:58.759><c> was</c><00:24:59.059><c> a</c><00:24:59.299><c> very</c><00:24:59.500><c> urgent</c><00:24:59.859><c> situation</c><00:25:00.420><c> as</c><00:25:00.579><c> Hezekiah</c><00:25:00.960><c> does</c><00:25:01.200><c> this.</c>

00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:03.960
The<00:25:02.619><c> people</c><00:25:02.859><c> wanted</c><00:25:03.240><c> to</c><00:25:03.539><c> please</c><00:25:03.720><c> God.</c>

00:25:04.059 --> 00:25:07.900
They<00:25:04.299><c> wanted</c><00:25:04.619><c> to</c><00:25:04.859><c> do</c><00:25:04.980><c> what</c><00:25:05.160><c> was</c><00:25:05.400><c> right,</c><00:25:06.279><c> but</c><00:25:06.859><c> it</c><00:25:07.059><c> wasn't</c><00:25:07.460><c> right</c>

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:11.240
for<00:25:08.099><c> them</c><00:25:08.480><c> to</c><00:25:08.740><c> eat</c><00:25:09.380><c> of</c><00:25:09.940><c> the</c><00:25:10.180><c> offering,</c><00:25:11.099><c> of</c>

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:12.259
the<00:25:11.420><c> Passover.</c>

00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:15.160
It<00:25:12.720><c> wasn't</c><00:25:13.039><c> right</c><00:25:13.440><c> for</c><00:25:13.640><c> them</c><00:25:13.799><c> to</c><00:25:13.960><c> have</c><00:25:14.140><c> fellowship</c><00:25:14.480><c> with</c><00:25:14.680><c> God</c>

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:17.920

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:23.039

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.720
He<00:25:23.380><c> says,</c><00:25:24.079><c> Good</c><00:25:24.579><c> Yahweh,</c><00:25:25.160><c> pardon</c><00:25:25.500><c> everyone.</c>

00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:30.039
And<00:25:28.740><c> then</c><00:25:28.839><c> what</c><00:25:28.940><c> does</c><00:25:29.059><c> he</c><00:25:29.180><c> say?</c>

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:47.880
We<00:25:46.079><c> learn</c><00:25:46.259><c> an</c><00:25:46.519><c> important</c><00:25:46.740><c> principle</c><00:25:47.119><c> because</c><00:25:47.380><c> these</c><00:25:47.640><c> were</c>

00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:57.000
Now<00:25:55.420><c> why</c><00:25:55.519><c> would</c><00:25:55.660><c> they</c><00:25:55.799><c> do</c><00:25:56.019><c> that?</c>

00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.140
What<00:25:57.259><c> was</c><00:25:57.500><c> the</c><00:25:57.619><c> purpose</c><00:25:58.039><c> that</c><00:25:58.279><c> God</c><00:25:58.519><c> had</c><00:25:58.799><c> given</c><00:25:58.980><c> them</c><00:25:59.220><c> the</c><00:25:59.420><c> ritual</c><00:25:59.859><c> of</c>

00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:07.539
Why<00:26:04.660><c> would</c><00:26:04.900><c> God</c><00:26:05.099><c> have</c><00:26:05.480><c> people</c><00:26:06.279><c> cleanse</c><00:26:06.759><c> themselves</c><00:26:07.180><c> before</c>

they<00:26:07.759><c> partake?</c>

00:26:10.609 --> 00:26:13.819
They<00:26:11.000><c> did</c><00:26:11.200><c> that</c><00:26:11.880><c> so</c><00:26:12.359><c> that</c><00:26:12.480><c> they</c><00:26:12.599><c> would</c><00:26:12.799><c> have</c><00:26:12.980><c> an</c><00:26:13.180><c> opportunity</c>

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:16.500

00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:21.480
And<00:26:16.920><c> they</c><00:26:17.000><c> were</c><00:26:17.200><c> supposed</c><00:26:17.599><c> to</c><00:26:17.900><c> see</c><00:26:18.119><c> that</c><00:26:18.400><c> in</c><00:26:19.019><c> cleansing</c><00:26:19.500><c> themselves,</c><00:26:21.140><c> God</c>

00:26:28.099 --> 00:26:33.579
So<00:26:28.380><c> God</c><00:26:28.599><c> was</c><00:26:28.900><c> looking</c><00:26:29.440><c> for</c><00:26:30.079><c> the</c><00:26:30.319><c> ritual</c><00:26:30.859><c> to</c><00:26:31.680><c> bring</c><00:26:31.920><c> about</c><00:26:32.299><c> a</c><00:26:32.700><c> change</c><00:26:33.160><c> of</c>

00:26:36.819 --> 00:26:39.420
Now<00:26:36.960><c> what</c><00:26:37.039><c> does</c><00:26:37.200><c> God</c><00:26:37.400><c> do</c><00:26:37.619><c> in</c><00:26:37.779><c> the</c><00:26:37.940><c> end</c><00:26:38.140><c> in</c><00:26:38.319><c> this</c><00:26:38.420><c> situation?</c>

00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.519
God<00:26:40.140><c> forgives</c><00:26:40.539><c> them</c><00:26:41.079><c> and</c><00:26:41.460><c> God</c><00:26:41.720><c> heals</c><00:26:42.019><c> them.</c>

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.579
