Exegesis
The reflexive hithpael hitteharu {הִטֶּהָּרוּ | hit-te-hā-rû} ‘they purified themselves’ indicates personal ritual effort.
In context — 2 Chronicles 30:18
For a great number of the people—many from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun—had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover , not according to what is written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May the LORD , who is good, pardon everyone.”
