The rediscovery of the covenant law caused King Josiah to lead the nation of Judah in covenant renewal and reform.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is True.

King Josiah's reign is noted for significant religious reforms in Judah, most notably after the discovery of the Book of the Law in the Temple during renovations. This rediscovery led to a national covenant renewal, where Josiah initiated reforms to rid the nation of idolatry and restore proper worship of Yahweh. He called the people of Judah together, read the Book of the Law to them, and reaffirmed the covenant between God and the Israelites. Josiah's actions included a nationwide celebration of Passover, as mandated by the newly found law, marking a pivotal moment in the spiritual revival of Judah.

This period is documented primarily in 2 Kings 22-23 and highlights the impact of covenant law on the communal and religious life in ancient Judah.
