📚 Historical Context
During the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah, the nation was in the midst of religious reforms to restore proper worship after years of idolatry and neglect under previous kings. Hezekiah proposed celebrating the Passover in the second month instead of the first, as allowed by God's law in certain circumstances, to allow more people to participate. This decision was enthusiastically approved by the king and the entire assembly, reflecting a collective desire to renew their covenant with God.
