Exegesis
The adverbial kakatov {כַּכָּת֕וּב | ka-ka-tūḇ} ‘as written’ introduces the written authority of al sefer haberit hazeh {עַ֛ל סֵ֥פֶר הַבְּרִ֖ית הַזֶּֽה | ʿal sē-fer ha-be-rīt ha-zē-h} ‘on this Book of the Covenant’. This sequence underscores the integration of royal, religious, and legal authority in Judah’s cultic renewal.
In context — 2 Kings 23:21
And the king commanded all the people, saying, “Observe the Passover to the LORD your God , as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
