2 Chronicles 30:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:24

For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation one
thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep
He separated them, as Kimchi interprets it, from his own herds and flocks; or out of his own substance, at his own expense purchased them; or lifted them up, as the word signifies, as heave offerings to the Lord; and gave them to the people for thank offerings to feast upon:

and the princes gave to the congregation one thousand bullocks, and ten
thousand sheep:
for the same purposes, following the king's example:

and a great number of priests sanctified themselves;
besides those who had before, that they might be fit to offer this great number of sacrifices.

2 Chronicles 30:24 In-Context

22 And Hezekiah said kind words to the Levites who were expert in the ordering of the worship of the Lord: so they kept the feast for seven days, offering peace-offerings and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.

23 And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.

24 For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave to the people for offerings, a thousand oxen and seven thousand sheep; and the rulers gave a thousand oxen and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests made themselves holy.

25 And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

26 So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.
