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 Josías gobierna en Judá
Josías tenía ocho años cuando subió al trono y reinó en Jerusalén treinta y un años.

2 Hizo lo que era agradable a los ojos del Señor
y siguió el ejemplo de su antepasado David; no se apartó de lo que era correcto.

3 Durante el octavo año de su reinado, siendo aún joven, Josías comenzó a buscar al Dios de su antepasado David. Luego, en el año doce, empezó a purificar a Judá y a Jerusalén, destruyendo todos los santuarios paganos, los postes dedicados a la diosa Asera, los ídolos tallados y las imágenes fundidas.

4 Ordenó que demolieran los altares de Baal y que derribaran los altares del incienso que había encima. También se aseguró de que despedazaran los postes dedicados a la diosa Asera, los ídolos tallados y las imágenes fundidas, y que los pedazos fueran esparcidos sobre las tumbas de aquellos que les habían ofrecido sacrificios.

5 Quemó los huesos de los sacerdotes paganos sobre sus propios altares, y de esta manera purificó a Judá y a Jerusalén.
