2 Chronicles 35:12 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Chronicles 35:12

10 So the service was prepared, and the priests ^astood in their places, and the ^bLevites in their divisions, according to the king’s command.

11 And they slaughtered the Passover offerings; and the priests ^asprinkled the blood with their hands, while the Levites ^bskinned the animals.

12 Then they removed the burnt offerings that they might give them to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the lay people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written ^ain the Book of Moses. And so they did with the cattle.

13 Also they ^aroasted the Passover offerings with fire according to the ordinance; but the other holy offerings they ^bboiled in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them quickly among all the lay people.

14 Then afterward they prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy in offering burnt offerings and fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared portions for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.

they removed the burnt offerings—Some of the small cattle being designed for burnt offerings were put apart by themselves, that they might not be intermingled with the paschal lambs, which were carefully selected according to certain rules, and intended to be sacramentally eaten; and the manner in which those burnt offerings were presented seems to have been the following: "All the subdivisions of the different fathers' houses came one after another to the altar in solemn procession to bring to the priests the portions which had been cut off, and the priests laid these pieces upon the fire of the altar of burnt offering."
