And they would celebrate at the appointed time. They and their children after them would always observe these days. And so would all who join them.

至于那些与耶和华联合的外族人，为要事奉他，爱耶和华的名，作他的仆人的，就是谨守安息日，不亵渎这日，又持守我的约的，

到那日，许多国家要归附耶和华，作他的（“他的”原文作“我的”）子民，他要（“他要”原文作“我要”）住在你们中间。你们就知道万军之耶和华差遣了我到你们那里去。

在各省各城中，王的命令和谕旨所到之处，犹大人都欢喜快乐，饮宴放假；那地的人民，有许多因为惧怕犹大人，就都自认是犹大人。

与耶和华联合的外族人不要说：“耶和华必把我从他的子民中分别出来。”被阉割了的人也不要说：“看哪！我是一棵枯树。”

“我不但与你们立这约，起这誓；而且也与那些今日和我们在这里，一同站在耶和华我们的神面前的人，以及那些今日不与我们同在这里的人立这约，起这誓。

这约，耶和华不是与我们的列祖立的，而是与我们今日在这里还活着的人立的。

嘱咐他们每年都要守亚达月十四、十五两日。

大卫在位的日子，有连续三年的饥荒；大卫就寻求耶和华的面。耶和华说：“这是因为扫罗和扫罗家流人血的罪，因为他曾经杀死了基遍人。”原来基遍人不是以色列人，而是亚摩利人中余剩的后人。以色列人曾经起誓与他们立约，但扫罗却为以色列人和犹大人发热心，设法要击杀他们。王把基遍人召了来，对他们说话。
