5 And ^astand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the lay people, and according to the division of the father’s house of the Levites.

6 So slaughter the Passover offerings, ^aconsecrate yourselves, and prepare them for your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.”

7 Then Josiah ^agave the lay people lambs and young goats from the flock, all for Passover offerings for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, as well as three thousand cattle; these were from the king’s ^bpossessions.

8 And his ^aleaders gave willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred from the flock, and three hundred cattle.

9 Also ^aConaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave to the Levites for Passover offerings five thousand from the flock and five hundred cattle.

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.
