2 Chronicles 29:26-33 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

26. The Levites were ready to play the instruments that had belonged to David; the priests were ready to blow the trumpets.

27. As soon as Hezekiah gave the signal for the sacrifices to be burnt on the altar, the musicians began singing praises to the Lord and playing their instruments,

28. and everyone worshipped the Lord. This continued until the last animal was sacrificed.

29. After that, Hezekiah and the crowd of worshippers knelt down and worshipped the Lord.

30. Then Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing the songs of praise that David and Asaph the prophet had written. And so they bowed down and joyfully sang praises to the Lord.

31. Hezekiah said to the crowd, “Now that you are once again acceptable to the Lord, bring sacrifices and offerings to give him thanks.”The people did this, and some of them voluntarily brought animals to be offered as sacrifices.

32. Seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs were brought as sacrifices to please the Lord;

33. six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep were brought as sacrifices to ask the Lord's blessing.
