Numbers 9:10, Numbers 9:11, Numbers 9:10, Numbers 9:11, 2 Chronicles 30:13

4And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and all the people.

5So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

8Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.

Exodus 32:9, 2 Chronicles 29:10, Exodus 32:9, 2 Chronicles 29:10, Deuteronomy 10:16

9For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

2 Chronicles 35:15, Deuteronomy 33:1, 2 Chronicles 35:15, Deuteronomy 33:1, Leviticus 1:5

18For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

James 5:15, James 5:16, 1 Corinthians 11:28, James 5:15, James 5:16

19Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place.
