2 Chronicles 31
31
1Now when all this was finished, all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] that were present went out to the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and broke the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength], in Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful] also and M’nasheh [Causing to Forget], until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2And Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] appointed the courses of the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
3 [He appointed] also the king’s portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, [that is to say], for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Shabbat, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as [it is] written in the law of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
4Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to give the portion of the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to], that they might be encouraged in the law of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
5And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all [things] brought they in abundantly.
6And [concerning] the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] and Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], that dwelt in the cities of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) their God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and laid [them] by heaps.
7In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished [them] in the seventh month.
8And when Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] and the princes came and saw the heaps, they Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and his people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
9Then Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] questioned with the priests and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] concerning the heaps.
10And ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the chief priest of the house of Tzadok [righteous] answered him, and said, Since [the people] began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) his people; and that which is left [is] this great store.
11Then Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and they prepared [them],
12And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated [things] faithfully: over which Konanyahu [Yehovah has established] the Levi (Levite) [Joined to] [was] ruler, and Shime’i [Fame] his brother [was] the next.
13And Jehiel, and ‘Azazyahu [Yehovah is mighty], and Nachat [rest], and ‘Asah’el [God-made], and Yerimot [He is Most High], and Yozavad [Yehovah has endowed], and Eli’el [my God is God], and Yishmachyah [Yehovah sustains], and Machat [grasping], and B’nayahu [Yehovah has built], [were] overseers under the hand of Konanyahu [Yehovah has established] and Shime’i [Fame] his brother, at the commandment of Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] the king, and ‘Azaryah [Yehovah has helped] the ruler of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
14And Kore [crier] the son of Yimnah [right hand] the Levi (Levite) [Joined to], the porter toward the east, [was] over the freewill offerings of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to distribute the oblations of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and the most holy things.
15And next him [were] ‘Eden [pleasure], and Minyamin [from the right hand], and Yeshua [he is saved], and Sh’may’yah [Yehovah hears], Amaryah [Yehovah speaks], and Sh’khanyahu [dweller with Yehovah], in the cities of the priests, in [their] set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
16Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, [even] unto every one that enters into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
17Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
18And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
19Also of the sons of Aharon [Bright, Very High] the priests, [which were] in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every single (each one separately) city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to].
20And thus did Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] throughout all Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and wrought [that which was] good and right and tbefore the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
21And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], he did [it] with all his heart, and prospered.
