Hezekiah Restores Temple Worship

20 Then King Hezekiah rose early, gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the Lord.
21 And they brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats for a asin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. Then he commanded the priests, the sons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord.  
22 So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and asprinkled it on the altar. Likewise they killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.  
23 Then they brought out the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they laid their ahands on them.  
24 And the priests killed them; and they presented their blood on the altar as a sin offering ato make an atonement for all Israel, for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering be made for all Israel.  
25 aAnd he stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, baccording to the commandment of David, of cGad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; dfor thus was the commandment of the Lord by His prophets.

2 Chronicles 29:21

They brought seven bullocks , etc. - This was more than the law required; see Leviticus 4:13, etc. It ordered one calf or ox for the sins of the people, and one he-goat for the sins of the prince; but Hezekiah here offers many more. And the reason appears sufficiently evident: the law speaks only of sins of ignorance; but here were sins of every kind and every die - idolatry, apostasy from the Divine worship, profanation of the temple, etc., etc. The sin-offerings, we are informed, were offered, first for the Kingdom - for the transgressions of the king and his family; secondly, for the Sanctuary, which had been defiled and polluted, and for the priests who had been profane, negligent, and unholy; and, finally, for Judah - for the whole mass of the people, who had been led away into every kind of abomination by the above examples.
