Bible Comments

I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee. Their own free-will - None shall be forced either to go or to stay. He who loves his God will avail himself of this favorable opportunity.
