Hebrew

נָתְנוּ מַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה וַיְקַטֵּר בַּבָּמוֹת
בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וּמְסִבֵּי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וְאֵת
הַמְקַטְּרִים לַבַּעַל לַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְלַיָּרֵחַ
וְלַמַּזָּלוֹת וּלְכֹל צְבָא הַשָּׁמָיִם: וַיֹּצֵא
אֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרָה מִבֵּית יְהוָה מִחוּץ
לִירוּשָׁלָיִם אֶל־נַחַל קִדְרוֹן וַיִּשְׂרֹף
אֹתָהּ בְּנַחַל קִדְרוֹן וַיָּדֶק לְעָפָר
וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ אֶת־עֲפָרָהּ עַל־קֶבֶר בְּנֵי
הָעָם: וַיִּתֹּץ אֶת־בָּתֵּי הַקְּדֵשִׁים אֲשֶׁר
בְּבֵית יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר הַנָּשִׁים אֹרְגוֹת
שָׁם בָּתִּים לָאֲשֵׁרָה: וַיָּבֵא אֶת־
כָּל־הַכֹּהֲנִים מֵעָרֵי יְהוּדָה וַיְטַמֵּא
אֶת־הַבָּמוֹת אֲשֶׁר קִטְּרוּ־שָׁמָּה
הַכֹּהֲנִים מִגֶּבַע עַד־בְּאֵר שָׁבַע וְנָתַץ
אֶת־בָּמוֹת הַשְּׁעָרִים אֲשֶׁר־פֶּתַח
שַׁעַר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ שַׂר־הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר־עַל־
שְׂמֹאול אִישׁ בְּשַׁעַר הָעִיר: אַךְ לֹא
יַעֲלוּ כֹּהֲנֵי הַבָּמוֹת אֶל־מִזְבַּח יְהוָה
בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם כִּי אִם־אָכְלוּ מַצּוֹת בְּתוֹךְ
אֲחֵיהֶם: וַיְצַו הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָם
לֵאמֹר עֲשׂוּ פֶסַח לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם
כַּכָּתוּב עַל סֵפֶר הַבְּרִית הַזֶּה: כִּי לֹא
נַעֲשָׂה כַּפֶּסַח הַזֶּה מִימֵי הַשֹּׁפְטִים
אֲשֶׁר שָׁפְטוּ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְכֹל יְמֵי
מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמַלְכֵי יְהוּדָה: כִּי אִם־
בִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה לַמֶּלֶךְ יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ
נַעֲשָׂה הַפֶּסַח הַזֶּה לַיהוָה בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם:
וְגַם אֶת־הָאֹבוֹת וְאֶת־הַיִּדְּעֹנִים וְאֶת־
הַתְּרָפִים וְאֶת־הַגִּלֻּלִים וְאֵת כָּל־
הַשִּׁקֻּצִים אֲשֶׁר נִרְאוּ בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה
וּבִירוּשָׁלָיִם בִּעֵר יֹאשִׁיָּהוּ לְמַעַן
הָקִים אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַכְּתֻבִים
עַל־הַסֵּפֶר אֲשֶׁר מָצָא חִלְקִיָּהוּ

Josiah put an end to the pagan priests whom the kings of Judah had put in charge of burning incense on the pagan altars in the cities of Judah and the environs of Jerusalem, as well as those people who burnt incense to Ba'al, to the sun, to the moon, to the constellations, and to all the hosts of the heavens. He took the Asherah tree out of the Holy Temple—the House of the Lord—and brought it outside of Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley. In the Kidron Valley, he burned it and ground it into dust, and he threw its dust on the graves of the people of the nation who had worshipped idols. He destroyed the places in the House of the Lord that had been designated as places where the women would weave curtains for the Asherah. He brought all of the Kohanim from the cities of Judah and helped them return to God, and he defiled the pagan altars on which the pagan priests had burned incense for idols, from the city of Geba and as far as the city of Beersheba. He destroyed the altars at the gates, including the one at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which was located on one's left when entering the gate of the city. However, the Kohanim who had served as pagan priests and offered incense on these altars were not allowed to go up upon the altar of the Lord to offer sacrifices in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, but they were permitted to eat of the matzot—the flour-offerings—as well as the meat of the animal-offerings among their brethren Kohanim. Following the cleansing of the land of all idols, the king commanded all of the Jewish Nation, saying, "Offer the Pesach-offering to the Lord, your God, just as it is written in this book of the covenant—the Torah." For throughout all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, the Pesach-offering had not been brought by such a large majority of the Jewish Nation since the days of the Judges who judged Israel. Only in the eighteenth year of King Josiah was a Pesach-offering like this offered to the Lord, in Jerusalem. Josiah also got rid of those who divine through corpses and those who divine by the Jidoa bone and those who divine through images and all of the idols and all other abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did all this in order to uphold the words of the Torah that were written in the Torah scroll that Hilkiah the high priest found

Holy Temple—the House of the Lord. Before King Josiah, there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and soul and with all his possessions, in accordance with the entire Torah of Moses. And after him no one arose like him.

וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר:

The Lord spoke to Moses after the Plague of the Firstborns in Egypt and gave him instructions to tell the Jewish Nation: Make every firstborn—every human and animal that opens its mother's womb among the Children of Israel—holy for Me; the firstborn belongs to Me. Moses said to the Jewish Nation on the day they left Egypt: Remember this day on which you went out of Egypt from the house of slavery; for with a mighty hand the Lord took you out from here. Leavened foods should not be eaten during Pesach. Today you are going out, in the month of Nissan, which occurs in the spring, when the weather is good for traveling.

It will be that when the Lord brings you to the Land of Israel—the land of the Canaanite, Hittite, Amorite, Hivite, and Jebusite nations, which God promised your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to you, a land flowing with the milk of goats and the honey of dates and figs—at that time, you should perform this service—you should keep the laws of Pesach—in this month: For seven days you should eat matzot, and on the seventh day there will be a festival for the Lord. Matzot should be eaten throughout the seven days. Leavened foods or yeast should not be seen with you in all of your property. And you should tell your son the story of the Exodus from Egypt on that first day of Pesach. Say to him: The Lord performed miracles for me when I left Egypt, in order that I keep His commandments, such as these commandments of the Pesach-offering and eating matzah and bitter herbs. The story of the Exodus from Egypt should be written in tefillin, as a sign for you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that the words of the Lord's Torah will always be in your mouth and remembered by you, because the Lord took you out of Egypt with a mighty hand. You should keep this law of Pesach at its set time, from year to year.
