The king went up to the Temple along with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the prophets, and all the people, young and old, and he read to them all that was written in the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the Temple.

He took the Ashera out of the Temple and brought it out of Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley and burned it there, grinding it to fine dust, and threw its ashes upon the graves of the people. He destroyed the rooms of the male temple-prostitutes in the House of the LORD, where the women would weave hangings in honor of the Ashera. He brought in all of the priests from the cities of Judah; he defiled the high places upon which the priests had worshiped, from Geva [in the north] all the way to Be&apos;er Sheva [in the south]; he shattered the high places of the gate which were at the gate of Joshua, the city sentry, to the left of those who entered the city&apos;s gates.

          <text>Having read about one historic Pesaḥ on the first day, on the second we read about another, one of the great moments of religious renewal in the life of the nation. During the long reign of King Manasseh, the kingdom of Judah had lapsed into the worst forms of idolatry. Manasseh&apos;s grandson Josiah, ascending to the throne at the age of eight, presided over a period of national rededication.</text>

          <text>In the course of repairs to the Temple, Hilkiah the priest made the momentous discovery of a Torah scroll, probably hidden during Manasseh&apos;s reign to avoid destruction. On hearing the curses of Deuteronomy foretelling national catastrophe as a result of faithlessness, the king was moved to tears. Tearing his clothes as a sign of mourning and repentance, Josiah read the Torah to the people, and together with them reaffirmed the covenant.</text>
