2 Chronicles, 31

1. When all this was complete, all Israel present went out to the towns of Judah, broke the pillars, cut down the sacred poles, wrecked the high places and the altars, and did away with them entirely throughout Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh. Then all the Israelites returned to their towns, everyone to his property.

1. Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke in pieces the pillars and hewed down the Ashe'rim and broke down the high places and the altars throughout all Judah and Benjamin, and in E'phraim and Manas'seh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the people of Israel returned to their cities, every man to his possession.

2. Hezekiah re-established the priestly and levitical orders, each man in his proper order according to his duties, whether priest or Levite, to bring burnt offerings and communion sacrifices, to serve and to give thanks and praise within the gates of Yahweh's camp.

2. And Hezeki'ah appointed the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, division by division, each according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to minister in the gates of the camp of the LORD and to give thanks and praise.

3. He also established a king's portion from his possessions for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths, New Moons and festivals, as laid down in the Law of Yahweh.

3. The contribution of the king from his own possessions was for the burnt offerings: the burnt offerings of morning and evening, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, the new moons, and the appointed feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

4. He furthermore requested the people living in Jerusalem to present the portion for the priests and Levites so that they might devote themselves to the Law of Yahweh.

4. And he commanded the people who lived in Jerusalem to give the portion due to the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.

5. As soon as the order had been promulgated, the Israelites provided the first fruits of grain, new wine, olive oil, honey and every other kind of agricultural produce in abundance; they brought in an abundant tithe of everything.

5. As soon as the command was spread abroad, the people of Israel gave in abundance the first fruits of grain, wine, oil, honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

6. The Israelites and Judaeans living in the towns of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the tithe of sacred gifts consecrated to Yahweh their God, laying them in heaps.

6. And the people of Israel and Judah who lived in the cities of Judah also brought in the tithe of cattle and sheep, and the dedicated things which had been consecrated to the LORD their God, and laid them in heaps.

7. They began accumulating the heaps in the third month and had finished them by the seventh.

7. In the third month they began to pile up the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

8. When Hezekiah and the officials came to inspect the heaps they praised Yahweh and his people Israel.

8. When Hezeki'ah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel.

9. While Hezekiah was questioning the priests and Levites about the heaps,

9. And Hezeki'ah questioned the priests and the Levites about the heaps.

10. Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, replied as follows, 'Since they began bringing the contributions to the Temple of Yahweh,' he said, 'we have had enough to eat and quantities left over, for Yahweh has blessed his people; this mass of stuff is left.'

10. Azari'ah the chief priest, who was of the house of Zadok, answered him, "Since they began to bring the contributions into the house of the LORD we have eaten and had enough and have plenty left; for the LORD has blessed his people, so that we have this great store left."

11. Hezekiah then ordered them to have storerooms prepared in the Temple of Yahweh and, when they had got them ready,

11. Then Hezeki'ah commanded them to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

12. they conscientiously brought in the contributions, tithes and consecrated gifts, Conaniah the Levite was put in charge of them, with Shimei his brother as his assistant,

12. And they faithfully brought in the contributions, the tithes and the dedicated things. The chief officer in charge of them was Conani'ah the Levite, with Shim'e-i his brother as second;

13. and with Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jeremith, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah as overseers under Conaniah and his brother Shimei, by order of King Hezekiah and of Azariah, the chief of the Temple of God.

13. while Jehi'el, Azazi'ah, Nahath, As'ahel, Jer'imoth, Jo'zabad, Eli'el, Ismachi'ah, Mahath, and Benai'ah were overseers assisting Conani'ah and Shim'e-i his brother, by the appointment of Hezeki'ah the king and Azari'ah the chief officer of the house of God.

14. Kore son of Jimnah the Levite, keeper of the eastern gate, was made responsible for the voluntary offerings to God and for providing the portion set aside for Yahweh and the most holy gifts.

14. And Ko're the son of Imnah the Levite, keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to apportion the contribution reserved for the LORD and the most holy offerings.

15. Supporting him loyally in the priestly towns were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah and Shechaniah, who made the distributions to their brothers in their various orders, whether high or low,

15. Eden, Mini'amin, Jeshua, Shemai'ah, Amari'ah, and Shecani'ah were faithfully assisting him in the cities of the priests, to distribute the portions to their brethren, old and young alike, by divisions,

16. irrespective of their official genealogy, to the males of thirty years and upwards -- to each one who attended the Temple of Yahweh to fulfil his daily obligations -- for the performance of their duties appropriate to their orders:

16. except those enrolled by genealogy, males from three years old and upwards, all who entered the house of the LORD as the duty of each day required, for their service according to their offices, by their divisions.

17. the priests being registered according to family and the Levites of twenty years and upwards according to their duties within their orders.

17. The enrollment of the priests was according to their fathers' houses; that of the Levites from twenty years old and upwards was according to their offices, by their divisions.

18. And the official genealogy included all their household, their wives, their sons and their daughters, throughout the community, since these men were obliged to keep sanctifying themselves anew.

18. The priests were enrolled with all their little children, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, the whole multitude; for they were faithful in keeping themselves holy.

19. The Aaronite priests who lived on the pasture lands belonging to their towns, had men named in every town to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to everyone included in the official genealogy of the Levites.

19. And for the sons of Aaron, the priests, who were in the fields of common land belonging to their cities, there were men in the several cities who were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among the priests and to every one among the Levites who was enrolled.

20. Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah. He did what Yahweh his God regards as good and right and loyal.

20. Thus Hezeki'ah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.

21. Everything that he undertook, whether in the service of the Temple of God or in connection with the law or the commandments, he did in absolute devotion to his God, and so succeeded.

21. And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered.

Fußnoten:

31:1 - Nach dem Passahfest zerstört das Volk heidnische Götzenbilder und Altäre im ganzen Land Juda und Israel. Geistliche Reinigung und die Beseitigung des Götzendienstes sind Zeichen wahrer Gottesverehrung (siehe auch Exodus 20:3-5 und 1. Johannes 5:21).

31:2-4 - Hiskia organisierte die Priester und Leviten neu, um dem Herrn gemäß dem Gesetz des Mose zu dienen. Dies unterstreicht die Bedeutung geistlicher Führer, die sich der Anbetung und der Lehre des Wortes Gottes verschrieben haben (siehe auch Numeri 18:21-24 und 1. Korinther 9:13-14).

31:5-10 - Die Menschen spenden großzügig den Zehnten und andere Opfergaben, damit der Tempel ordnungsgemäß funktionieren kann. Diese großzügige Haltung spiegelt Dankbarkeit und Gehorsam gegenüber der göttlichen Versorgung wider (siehe auch Maleachi 3:10 und 2. Korinther 9:6-7).

31:11-19 - Hiskia richtete Vorratsräume für die Opfergaben ein und stellte so sicher, dass die Priester und Leviten das Nötige erhielten. Dies verdeutlicht die Bedeutung einer guten Verwaltung und eines verantwortungsvollen Umgangs mit den Ressourcen für Gottes Werk (siehe auch 1. Korinther 4,2 und 1. Timotheus 5,17-18).

31:20-21 - Hiskia wird als ein König beschrieben, der Gutes, Rechtes und Treue vor Gott tut. Sein Wohlstand ist mit seinem Gehorsam und seiner Integrität im Dienst des Herrn verbunden (siehe auch 2. Könige 18:5-7 und Sprüche 3:5-6).

Verse im Zusammenhang mit 2 Chronicles, 31:

2. Chronik Kapitel 31 beschreibt die Reformen Hiskias. Wie manifestiert sich die Treue zu Gott in der Praxis? Dieser ausführliche Text erzählt von der Zerstörung von Götzenbildern, der Neuorganisation des Priestertums und der Wiederherstellung des Zehnten. Das Kapitel betont Themen wie Verantwortung, Großzügigkeit und die Bedeutung der Aufrechterhaltung des Dienstes. 2. Chronik 31 hebt auch den Wohlstand hervor, der aus dem Gehorsam gegenüber Gott resultiert. Betrachten Sie mit uns fünf Bibelstellen, die sich auf die bleibenden Grundsätze dieses inspirierenden Kapitels beziehen.

Maleachi 3:10: "Bringe den gesamten Zehnten zum Vorratshaus des Tempels, damit in meinem Haus etwas zu essen ist. Stellen Sie mich auf die Probe, sagt der Herr der Heerscharen, „und sehen Sie, ob ich nicht die Schleusen des Himmels öffnen und so viele Segnungen über Sie ausschütten werde, dass Sie keinen Ort mehr haben, um sie aufzubewahren.“" - Dieser Vers spiegelt das Thema aus 2. Chronik 31 wider, nämlich die Wichtigkeit, Opfergaben und Zehnten in den Tempel zu bringen.

1. Korinther 9:13-14: "Wisst ihr nicht, dass diejenigen, die im Tempel arbeiten, sich von den Dingen des Tempels ernähren und dass diejenigen, die vor dem Altar dienen, von dem nehmen, was auf dem Altar geopfert wird? Ebenso befahl der Herr denjenigen, die das Evangelium predigen, nach dem Evangelium zu leben." - Paulus verweist auf die Praxis der Priesterunterstützung, die in 2. Chronik 31 erwähnt wird.

Nehemia 13:10-12: "Ich erfuhr auch, dass die für die Leviten bestimmten Teile ihnen nicht gegeben wurden und dass alle Leviten und Sänger, die für den Gottesdienst verantwortlich waren, in ihre eigenen Länder zurückgekehrt waren. Also tadelte ich die Beamten und fragte sie: „Warum ist der Tempel Gottes verlassen?“ Also rief ich sie herbei und platzierte sie auf ihren Posten. Ganz Juda brachte den Zehnten an Getreide, Most und Öl in die Vorratshäuser." - Diese Passage in Nehemia spiegelt Hiskias Reform in 2. Chronik 31 wider und zeigt, wie wichtig es weiterhin ist, den Tempeldienst aufrechtzuerhalten.

2. Könige 18:5-6: "Hiskia vertraute auf den Herrn, den Gott Israels. Unter allen Königen von Juda gab es niemanden wie ihn, weder vor noch nach ihm. Er klammerte sich an den Herrn und hörte nicht auf, ihm zu folgen; Er befolgte die Gebote, die der Herr Mose gegeben hatte." - Dieser Auszug aus 2. Könige ergänzt den Bericht in 2. Chronik 31 und betont Hiskias Treue.

Sprüche 3:9-10: "Ehre den Herrn mit all deinen Ressourcen und mit den Erstlingen all deiner Ernten; Eure Scheunen werden bis zum Rand gefüllt sein und eure Fässer werden mit Wein überlaufen." - Dieses Sprichwort spiegelt den Grundsatz wider, Gott mit den Erstlingsfrüchten zu ehren, wie er in 2. Chronik 31 zu sehen ist.
