2 Chronicles30:23

23 And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness .

Not in the same manner as they had done the former, with offering new Paschal Lambs and eating onely Unleavened Bread, (of which there is not the least intimation in the Text) but onely in the solemn Worship of God, by Sacrifices, and Prayers, and Praises, and publick Instruction of that great Congregation in the Good Knowledge of the Lord; which was so dear to Hezekiah, v. 22. and at this time most seasonable and necessary for the People after so long and dismal a Night of Ignorance, Superstition and Idolatry, as both Israel and Judah had been involved in.
