SEV Biblia, Chapter 30:25
Y toda la congregación de Judá se alegró, y los sacerdotes y levitas, y asimismo toda la multitud que había venido de Israel; y también los extranjeros que habían venido de la tierra de Israel, y los que habitaban en Judá.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 30:25
Verse 25. The strangers that come out of the land of Israel] That is, the proselytes of the covenant who had embraced Judaism, and had submitted to the rite of circumcision, for none others could be permitted to eat of the passover.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and Levites , etc.] The people that were gathered together out of the several cities of Judah, which no doubt was the largest congregation, with whom the priests and Levites are joined, as being of that kingdom, and dwellers in Jerusalem, where their office lay: and all the congregation that came out of Israel ; out of the ten tribes, particularly Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, ( 2 Chronicles 30:18), and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced; the proselytes, even such as were circumcised, who ate of the passover, and kept the feast of unleavened bread, as well as the other days of rejoicing, the former of which none might partake of but circumcised persons; and it can hardly be thought that any other would come out of Israel on such an occasion, (see Exodus 12:48).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-27 - Many prayers were put up to God with the peace-offerings. In thes Israel looked to God as the God of their fathers, a God in covenan with them. There was also abundance of good preaching. The Levites rea and explained the Scriptures. Faith cometh by hearing, and tru religion preaching has abounded. They sang psalms every day: praisin God should be much of our work in religious assemblies. Having kept the seven days of the feast in this religious manner, they had so muc comfort in it, that they kept other seven days also. This they did with gladness. Holy duties should be done with holy gladness. And when sinners humble themselves before the Lord, they may expect gladness in his ordinances. Those who taste this happiness will not soon grow wear of it, but will be glad to prolong their enjoyment __________________________________________________________________
