All of Israel invited to celebrate the Passover (2 Chronicles 30:1, 18-21)

Passover wasn't celebrated in the first month, which was the usual time, because many of the priests were still unclean and unacceptable to serve, and because not everyone in Judah had come to Jerusalem for the festival. So Hezekiah, his officials, and the people agreed to celebrate Passover in the second month. Hezekiah sent a message to everyone in Israel and Judah, including those in the territories of Ephriam and West Manasseh, invitng them to the Temple in Jerusalem for the celebration of Passover in honor of the LORD God of Isreal. Most of the people that came from Ephriam, West Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun had not made themselves clean, but they ignored God's Law and ate the Passover lambs anyway. Hezekiah found out what they had done and prayed, "LORD God, these people are unclean according to the laws of holiness. But they are worshiping you, just as their ancestors did. So, be kind and forgive them." The LORD answered Hezekiah's prayer and did not punish them. The worshipers in Jerusalem were very happy and celebrated the Festival for seven days. The Levites and priests sang praises to the LORD every day and played their instruments. This is a great example of God judging the heart of a man and not examining the tablets of stone that contain the Law. The Lord is after heart felt worship for Him and love for their brother. When the kingdom was divided between Israel and Judah, Israel in particular suspended worshiping God by holding the passover, because the Temple of God is in Judah. Hezekiah who was a reformer set aside differences between Isreal and Judah and brought the people of God to the Table of God for worship and fellowship. Daily Prayer: Lord, let me remember the Law of Christ. Love you with my entire heart, mind, soul and strength. Also love my neighbor (brother) as myself. Against this, there are no laws. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
