‏ 2 Chronicles 30:27

At the end of the Levitic priests dismissed the people with the blessing (the ו before הלויּם in some MSS, and which the lxx, Vulg., and Syr. also have, is a copyist’s gloss brought from 2Ch 30:25; cf. against it, 2Ch 23:18), and the historian adds, “Their voice was heard, and their prayer came to His holy dwelling-place, to heaven.” This conclusion he draws from the divine blessing having been upon the festival; traceable partly in the zeal which the people afterwards showed for the public worship in the temple (2 Chron 31), partly in the deliverance of Judah and Jerusalem from the attack of the Assyrian Sennacherib (2 Chron 32).
