I have found.This certainly was a genuine copy of the divine law, and probably the autograph of Moses, as it is said, in the parallel place of Chronicles, to be the book of the law of the Lord by Moses.
It is not probable that this was the only copy of the law in the land, or that Josiah had never before seen the book of Moses; but the fact seems to be, that this was the original of the covenant renewed by Moses in the plains of Moab, and now being unexpectedly found, its antiquity, the occasion of its being made, the present circumstances of the people, the imperfect state in which the reformation was as yet, after all that had been done, would all concur to produce the effect here mentioned on the mind of the pious Josiah.
Dt. 31:24‑26• 24Y como acabó Moisés de escribir las palabras de esta ley en un libro hasta concluirse,
 25Mandó Moisés á los Levitas que llevaban el arca del pacto de Jehová, diciendo:
 26Tomad este libro de la ley, y ponedlo al lado del arca del pacto de Jehová vuestro Dios, y esté allí por testigo contra ti. (Dt. 31:24‑26)
;
2 Cr. 34:14,15‑28• 14Y al sacar el dinero que había sido metido en la casa de Jehová, Hilcías el sacerdote halló el libro de la ley de Jehová dada por mano de Moisés.
 15Y dando cuenta Hilcías, dijo á Saphán escriba: Yo he hallado el libro de la ley en la casa de Jehová. Y dió Hilcías el libro á Saphán.
 16Y Saphán lo llevó al rey, y contóle el negocio, diciendo: Tus siervos han cumplido todo lo que les fué dado á cargo.
 17Han reunido el dinero que se halló en la casa de Jehová, y lo han entregado en mano de los comisionados, y en mano de los que hacen la obra.
 18A más de esto, declaró Saphán escriba al rey, diciendo: El sacerdote Hilcías me dió un libro. Y leyó Saphán en él delante del rey.
 19Y luego que el rey oyó las palabras de la ley, rasgó sus vestidos;
 20Y mandó á Hilcías y á Ahicam hijo de Saphán, y á Abdón hijo de Michâ, y á Saphán escriba, y á Asaía siervo del rey, diciendo:
 21Andad, y consultad á Jehová de mí, y de las reliquias de Israel y de Judá, acerca de las palabras del libro que se ha hallado; porque grande es el furor de Jehová que ha caído sobre nosotros, por cuanto nuestros padres no guardaron la palabra de Jehová, para hacer conforme á todo lo que está escrito en este libro.
 22Entonces Hilcías y los del rey fueron á Hulda profetisa, mujer de Sallum, hijo de Tikvath, hijo de Hasra, guarda de las vestimentas, la cual moraba en Jerusalem en la casa de la doctrina; y dijéronle las palabras dichas.
 23Y ella respondió: Jehová el Dios de Israel ha dicho así: Decid al varón que os ha enviado á mí, que así ha dicho Jehová:
 24He aquí yo traigo mal sobre este lugar, y sobre los moradores de él, y todas las maldiciones que están escritas en el libro que leyeron delante del rey de Judá:
 25Por cuanto me han dejado, y han sacrificado á dioses ajenos, provocándome á ira en todas las obras de sus manos; por tanto mi furor destilará sobre este lugar, y no se apagará.
 26Mas al rey de Judá, que os ha enviado á consultar á Jehová, así le diréis: Jehová el Dios de Israel ha dicho así: Por cuanto oiste las palabras del libro,
 27Y tu corazón se enterneció, y te humillaste delante de Dios al oir sus palabras sobre este lugar, y sobre sus moradores, y te humillaste delante de mí, y rasgaste tus vestidos, y lloraste en mi presencia, yo también te he oído, dice Jehová.
 28He aquí que yo te recogeré con tus padres, y serás recogido en tus sepulcros en paz, y tus ojos no verán todo el mal que yo traigo sobre este lugar, y sobre los moradores de él. Y ellos refirieron al rey la respuesta. (2 Cr. 34:14,15‑28)
• If Josiah had not had the restoration of the temple at heart, the book of the law, which was kept there (2 Chron. 34:15) would not have come to light again. This is the special character of Josiah’s revival. (“Josiah and the Second Revival: 2 Kings 22” by H.L. Rossier)
