2 Crônicas 34:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 34:13

But the man that [is] clean
Free from any pollution by a dead body, or the like:

and is not in a journey;
in a distant country; for if he was on a journey in his own nation, he ought to return and attend the passover, which all the males from the several parts of the land were obliged unto; wherefore the Vulgate Latin version of ( Numbers 9:10 ) ; is a wrong one; "or in a way afar off in your nation"; for at whatsoever distance they were in their own nation, they were bound to appear:

and forbeareth to keep the passover;
the first passover in the first month, the month Nisan, wilfully, through negligence, or not caring to be at the expense and trouble of it, or on any pretence whatsoever: Ben Gersom interprets it of one that will not keep neither the first nor the second passover:

even the same soul shall be cut off from his people;
either be excommunicated from them, or cut off by death by the immediate hand of God:

because he brought not the offering of the Lord in his appointed
season:
this is the ground and reason of the resentment; it was a breach of the divine command, which required this offering; ingratitude to God, being a thank offering for a singular deliverance; and this aggravated by its not being brought at the appointed time, which was the fit ti me for it:

that man shall bear his sin;
be chargeable with the guilt of it, and bear the punishment of it; he on himself, as Aben Ezra notes, he, and he only; not his wife and family, for he being the head and master of the family, it lay upon him to provide the passover lamb for himself and his house.

2 Crônicas 34:2 In-Context

1 Josias tinha oito anos de idade quando começou a reinar e reinou trinta e um anos em Jerusalém.

2 Ele fez o que o SENHOR aprova e andou nos caminhos de Davi, seu predecessor, sem desviar-se nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.

3 No oitavo ano do seu reinado, sendo ainda bem jovem, ele começou a buscar o Deus de Davi, seu predecessor. No décimo segundo ano, começou a purificar Judá e Jerusalém dos altares idólatras, dos postes sagrados, das imagens esculpidas e dos ídolos de metal.

4 Sob as suas ordens foram derrubados os altares dos baalins; além disso, ele despedaçou os altares de incenso que ficavam acima deles. Também despedaçou e reduziu a pó os postes sagrados, as imagens esculpidas e os ídolos de metal, e os espalhou sobre os túmulos daqueles que lhes haviam oferecido sacrifícios.

5 Depois queimou os ossos dos sacerdotes sobre esses altares, purificando assim Judá e Jerusalém.
