• Had they dreamed of hallowing themselves in order to celebrate the Passover? Even many of the priests had neglected to do that and "a multitude of the people, many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves" (2 Chron. 30:18). The priests could not offer the memorial under these conditions; the Feast of Unleavened Bread, figure of a life of practical holiness, having the blood of the passover lamb (from which it was inseparable) as its starting point, could not be celebrated by those who were still defiled. Thus, this ceremony was affected by these failures; it was not celebrated until the second month {v.13}, according to Numbers 9:11. (“Hezekiah - The Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread: 2 Chronicles 30” by H.L. Rossier)
