2 Chronicles 35:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:12

And they removed the burnt offerings
Either such of the lambs and kids as were designed for burnt offerings for the people; these they separated from those that were for the passover; or they removed from them what was to be burnt, the fat of the inwards, of the kidneys, and the caul on the liver:

that they might give;
the rest for the passover:

according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer
unto the Lord;
according to the number of them:

as it is written in the book of Moses;
see ( Leviticus 3:3-5 ) ,

and so did they with the oxen;
such of them as were appointed for burnt offerings were set apart by themselves, and such as were for peace offerings; what of them were to be burnt, as those before mentioned, were taken from them.

2 Chronicles 35:12 In-Context

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.

14 Next they prepared food for themselves and for the priests. Since the priests, Aaron's descendants, were busy offering up the entirely burned offerings and fat pieces until nighttime, the Levites prepared food for themselves and for the priests, Aaron's descendants.
