In the month Nisan, as the Targum adds, on the fourteenth day of the month, as the law enjoined, because the cleansing of the temple was not finished until the sixteenth day, see 2Ch 29:17<\/span> and, besides this, two other reasons follow:<\/p>\n because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently<\/strong>; that is, a sufficient number of them were not sanctified, to slay all the passover lambs the people that came to the feast would want:<\/p>\n neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem<\/strong>; they had no notice of it, nor summons for it; and it was required that, at such a time, all the males in the land should appear at Jerusalem; but this custom having been long disused, it required time to acquaint them of the revival of it.<\/p>\n (3) At that time.<\/strong>The time when the Temple had just been reopened (2Ch. 29:8<\/span>), in the first month of Hezekiahs first year. The Purification of the Temple was not completed until the 16th of Nisan (2Ch. 29:17<\/span>); but perhaps the Passover would have been held, had not the hindrances here mentioned prevented it.

(Comp. a similar formation, 1Ch. 15:13<\/span>.) The meaning is that a sufficient number of priests had not observed the legal ceremonies of self-purification in time to hold Passover in Nisan.<\/p>\n 2Ch 30:3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.<\/p>\n Ver. 3. For they could not keep it at that time.<\/strong> ] Namely, On the fourteenth day of the first month, for the two following reasons. See the like, Num 9:10-11<\/span> .<\/p>\n at that time: i.e. the first month, while all the work was going on. Compare Exo 12:18. <\/p>\n at that time: Exo 12:6, Exo 12:18 <\/p>\n because: 2Ch 29:34 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Exo 19:22 – break 2Ch 35:6 – sanctify<\/p>\n 2Ch 30:3. For they could not keep it at that time Which God had appointed for it, both because the temple was not then purified and prepared, and also for two other reasons, which he here adds. The priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently To wit, in such a manner as was fit, nor in such numbers as were necessary for the slaying and offering of so many thousands of paschal-offerings, as appears, because they were not sufficient for those offerings, which were comparatively few, 2Ch 29:32-34. Neither had the people gathered themselves together, &c. As they used, and ought to do, at that time, from all places: which now they could not do, because neither was the matter agreed upon, nor were the people summoned thither, till the proper time was past.<\/p>\n For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. 3. at that time ] In the first month. sufficiently ] R.V. in sufficient number.
