2 Crónicas 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 Crónicas 34:2 In-Context

1 De ocho años era Josías cuando comenzó a reinar, y treinta y un años reinó en Jerusalén.

2 Este hizo lo recto en ojos del SEÑOR, y anduvo en los caminos de David su padre, sin apartarse a la diestra ni a la siniestra.

3 A los ocho años de su reinado, siendo aún joven, comenzó a buscar al Dios de David su padre; y a los doce años comenzó a limpiar a Judá y a Jerusalén de los altos, bosques, esculturas, e imágenes de fundición.

4 Y derribaron delante de él los altares de los Baales, e hizo pedazos las imágenes del sol , que estaban puestas encima; y los bosques, y las esculturas e imagines de fundición, quebró y desmenuzó, y esparció el polvo sobre los sepulcros de los que habían sacrificado a ellos.

5 Asimismo quemó los huesos de los sacerdotes sobre sus altares, y limpió a Judá y a Jerusalén.
