তাৰ পাছত তেওঁ চাৰিওফালে চালে আৰু পাহাৰৰ কাষত থকা সমাধিস্থল দেখা পালে। তেওঁ মানুহ পঠাই সেই সমাধিবোৰৰ পৰা অস্থিবোৰ উলিয়াই অনালে আৰু সেইবোৰ বেদীৰ ওপৰত পুৰি তাক অপবিত্র কৰিলে। ঈশ্বৰৰ লোকে যি সকলো ঘটনাৰ কথা পূর্বে ঘোষণা কৰিছিল, যিহোৱাৰ সেই বাক্য অনুসাৰেই এই সকলো হ’ল।

Explained for Children

Imagine if someone left trash in a special place meant for prayers, and you had to clean it up. Josiah did something like that by cleaning up the bones from tombs to make sure the altar was pure, just like God asked.

Historical Background

This passage is from the book of 2 Kings, written around the 6th century BCE. It details events during King Josiah's reign and reflects on the religious reforms he implemented, set against the backdrop of the Hebrews' struggles with idolatry.

Living It Out Today

Just as Josiah worked to purify the altar from defilement, we can strive to cleanse our lives from anything that distracts us from our spiritual goals. For example, if gaming or social media takes too much of your time, you might need to 'purify' your habits.
