אָנָּ֣ה יְהוָ֗ה זְכָר־נָ֞א אֵ֣ת אֲשֶׁ֧ר הִתְהַלַּ֣כְתִּי לְפָנֶ֗יךָ בֶּֽאֱמֶת֙ וּבְלֵבָ֣ב שָׁלֵ֔ם וְהַטּ֥וֹב בְּעֵינֶ֖יךָ עָשִׂ֑יתִי וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ חִזְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּכִ֥י גָדֽוֹל׃ (ס)
«永恆者啊，求你記念我在你面前怎樣以誠實和完全的心行事，又做了你眼中看為好的事。»希西家就痛哭不已。
The Sabbath Epistle
The beginning of Israel’s year is determined by the court, as it is written regarding Hezekiah “And the king consulted” (2 Chronicles 30:2). He intercalated the year on advice of the court, and the Passover that he conducted was in the first month (Nisan). There are clear proofs that the revered God accepted his decision. However, he made one small error, namely, he did not intercalate the year on the day before the first month. This is the meaning of “He intercalated Nisan in Nisan, to which the Rabbis did not concur” (Mishna, Pesahim 4:9).
