2 Chronicles 30:2
在二月——希西家和他的謀士認為，律法所准許的規條（見邊注）在當時情況下可以延伸適用於全體百姓。事實證明，潔淨聖殿的工作無法在正月十四日以前完成（歷代志下29:17）。因此決定把節期推遲到二月十四日，這樣眾祭司就有時間潔淨自己，節期的宣告也能傳遍以色列全地。
英文原文
In the second month - Hezekiah and his counselors considered that the permission of the Law (see the marginal reference) might, under the circumstances, be extended to the whole people. It had been found impossible to complete the cleansing of the temple until the fourteenth day of the first month was past 2 Chronicles 29:17. It was, therefore, determined to defer it to the 14th of the second month, which allowed time for the priests generally to purify themselves, and for proclamation of the festival to be made throughout all Israel.

2 Chronicles 30:3
那時——即正月，歷代志下29章所記各事發生的時候。
英文原文
At that time - i. e. in the first month, at the time of the events mentioned in 2 Chronicles 29.

2 Chronicles 30:5
他們沒有守……——有人偏好譯作「他們沒有照所記的、按足數守這節」——即「他們（北方王國的以色列人）有一段時間沒有照律法的要求、以足數的人守逾越節」。
英文原文
They had not done it ... - Some prefer, "they had not kept it in full numbers, as it was written" - i. e. "they (the Israelites of the northern kingdom) had not (for some while) kept the Passover in full numbers, as the Law required."

2 Chronicles 30:6
驛卒就走遍了——帶信的人大概是組成王室衛隊一部分的「傳令兵」（列王紀下10:25註釋）。
亞述諸王——這段經文可能兼指普勒、提革拉毗列色和撒縵以色（比較邊注及列王紀下17:3）。這段經文絕不暗示撒瑪利亞的陷落和以色列人最終的被擄在那時已經發生。
英文原文
The posts went - The bearers of the letters were probably the "runners" who formed a portion of the king's body-guard (2 Kings 10:25 note).
The kings of Assyria - Pul, Tiglath-pileser, and Shalmaneser may all be referred to in this passage (compare the marginal reference and 2 Kings 17:3). The passage by no means implies that the fall of Samaria and final captivity of the Israelites had as yet taken place.

2 Chronicles 30:10
以法蓮和瑪拿西是離猶大最近的兩個支派，西布倫則是最遠的支派之一，故如此並提。
英文原文
Ephraim and Manasseh are mentioned as the two tribes nearest to Judah, Zebulun as one of the furthest off.
11
2 Chronicles 30:11
比較歷代志下30:18。可見十個支派中至少有五個確曾派遣代表。流便和迦得兩支派已被擄去；但支派已被併入猶大；僅剩的西緬和拿弗他利，看來比其他支派更深陷於偶像崇拜（歷代志下34:6）。
英文原文
Compare 2 Chronicles 30:18. Hence, five of the ten tribes certainly sent representatives. Two - Reuben and Gad - were in captivity. One - Dan - was absorbed into Judah. Simeon and Naphtali, which alone remained, seem to have been more than ordinarily idolatrous 2 Chronicles 34:6.
14
2 Chronicles 30:14
這些拜偶像的祭壇存留到此時，表明希西家更急於建造而非拆毀，更急於確立對耶和華的敬拜而非根除偶像崇拜。然而如今，更重要的工作已經完成，聖殿已經開放，每日的獻祭事奉也已恢復，就可以把注意力轉向次要的目標——從京城除去近來背道所留下的一切痕跡。
英文原文
The continuance of the idolatrous altars to this time shows that Hezekiah had been more anxious to construct than to destroy, to establish the Yahweh-worship than to root out idolatry. Now, however, that the more important work was done, the temple open, and the daily service restored, attention could be turned to the secondary object of removing from the city all traces of the late apostasy.
15
2 Chronicles 30:15
那些怠慢的祭司和利未人——他們或因對耶和華敬拜缺少熱心，或因實際上傾向於偶像崇拜，而疏於潔淨自己（歷代志下30:3及邊注）——如今在眾人普遍的熱忱面前自覺羞愧，就為逾越節自潔。
把燔祭帶進來——即從在內院門口獻祭的人手中接過燔祭，把它們帶到廊子前的銅祭壇那裏。燔祭的任何部分從未被帶進聖殿建築物之內。
英文原文
The laggart priests and Levites, who from want of zeal for the Yahweh-worship, or from actual inclination to idolatry, had neglected to purify themselves (2 Chronicles 30:3 and marginal reference), were now shamed by the general ardor, and sanctified themselves for the Paschal festival.
And brought in the burnt offerings - Received them, i. e. from the offerers at the doors of the inner court, and took them up to the brass altar in front of the porch. No part of the burnt offerings was ever taken inside the temple building.
16
2 Chronicles 30:16
照他們的規例——按照米示拿的記載，慣例是祭司們從祭壇到外院（百姓聚集之處）排成兩行。每當獻祭的人宰殺羊羔，血就接在盆裏，遞給最近的祭司，再由他傳給鄰舍，依次傳遞下去；血就這樣被傳到祭壇，由行列末位的祭司潑在壇的底部。滿了血的盆這樣往上傳遞時，空盆也不斷地往下傳，因此沒有停頓或延誤。
從利未人手裏接過來——通常，血是從獻祭之人的手中接過的。但前來守節的以色列人，較多數（歷代志下30:17）陷在某種禮儀上或道德上的不潔之中，來不及潔淨自己。由於這不潔，他們不親自宰殺羊羔，而把這職分委託給利未人。
英文原文
After their manner - According to the Mishna, the custom was for the priests to stand in two rows extending from the altar to the outer court, where the people were assembled. As each offerer killed his lamb the blood was caught in a basin, which was handed to the nearest priest, who passed it on to his neighbor, and he to the next; the blood was thus conveyed to the altar, at the base of which it was thrown by the last priest in the row. While basins full of blood were thus passed up, empty basins were passed down in a constant succession, so that there was no pause or delay.
Which they received of the hand of the Levites - Ordinarily, the blood was received at the hand of the offerer. But the greater number of the Israelites 2 Chronicles 30:17 who had come to keep the feast were involved in some ceremonial or moral defilement, from which there had not been time for them to purify themselves. On account of this uncleanness, they did not slay their own lambs, but delegated the office to the Levites.
22
2 Chronicles 30:22
這裏所說的「知識」，大概主要是禮儀和音樂方面的知識——就是使他們能以妥善主持聖所事奉的那種知識。
他們盡都吃喝——按字面是「他們吃了節期」，即「他們守了節」；這節期本質上就是藉着吃無酵餅來守的。利未人在節期所定的整個期間守節，職務從未間斷，天天都在宰殺祭牲和頌讚神的事上一同有份。
英文原文
The "knowledge" intended is perhaps chiefly ritualistic and musical - such knowledge as enabled them to conduct the service of the sanctuary satisfactorily.
They did eat throughout the feast - literally, "they did eat the feast;" i. e. "they kept the feast," which was essentially kept by the eating of unleavened bread. The Levites kept the feast during the full term appointed for it, never failing in their duties, but taking their part day after day, both in the sacrifice of the victims and in singing praises to God.
23
2 Chronicles 30:23
又再守節七日——這是對律法要求的自發增添，是那充斥於當時的豐溢熱忱的果子與記號。希西家與眾首領大概向百姓提出了這建議，並向他們提供了獻祭用的牲畜。
英文原文
To keep other seven days - This was a voluntary addition to the requirements of the Law - the fruit and sign of the abounding zeal which characterized the time. Hezekiah and the princes probably proposed it to the people, and presented them with sacrificial animals.

寄居的人——見歷代志下15:9註釋。

The strangers - See the 2 Chronicles 15:9 note.
