2 Chronicles 30:5 meaning and explanation

So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that the people should come to keep the Passover of the LORD, the God of Israel, in Jerusalem. For they had not observed it as a nation as prescribed.

2 Chronicles 30:5, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Hezekiah, king of Judah, and the assembly with him issue this decree after deciding to keep the Passover a month late, since too few priests had consecrated themselves (verses 2 and 3). From Beersheba to Dan is the traditional way of naming the whole land, so the invitation reaches the northern tribes as well as Judah.
