2 Chronicles 35:11 In-Context

9 Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, provided the Levites with five thousand lambs and five hundred bulls as Passover sacrifices.

10 When everything was ready, the priests and the Levites took their places as the king had ordered.

11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs, and the priests splashed the blood while the Levites skinned the animals.

12 Next they divided the entirely burned offerings among the laypeople by their families to sacrifice to the LORD as written in the scroll from Moses, and they did the same with the bulls.

13 They roasted the Passover lambs in the fire as instructed, cooked the holy offerings in pots, kettles, and pans, and brought them quickly to all the laypeople.
