2 Chronicles 35:12

Compare all

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.

2 Chronicles 35:12

Removed - Some of the lesser cattle; for these also might be offered as burnt - offerings, Leviticus 1:10, and hence it may seem that all these small cattle were not given for paschal - lambs, but were to be offered as burnt - offerings for the people. And these they put apart lest they should be confounded with them which were for another use; and, that they might not be hindered from that which was their present work, that they might give, the paschal - lambs or kids. To offer - These words may belong to the last words, and to the paschal - lambs, which they were first to offer to the Lord, by killing them and sprinkling the blood, and then to give to the people; though the giving be here mentioned before the offering, such transpositions being usual in scripture. Oxen - As they did with the lesser cattle; they removed those oxen which were to be offered as burnt - offerings, from those which were to be offered as peace - offerings.
