2 Chronicles 35:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:16

So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day
With every sacrifice, and for all sorts of persons:

to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of
the Lord;
which were required to be done on that day:

according to the commandment of King Josiah;
which was, that every thing be provided, prepared, and done, as the law required.

2 Chronicles 35:16 In-Context

14 Later, they prepared [the animals] for themselves and for the priests because the priests (Aaron's descendants) were sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat until that evening. So the Levites prepared [the animals] for themselves and the priests.

15 The singers (Asaph's descendants) were in their places as David, Asaph, Heman, and the king's seer Jeduthun had commanded. The gatekeepers were stationed at each gate. They didn't need to leave their work, because their relatives, the Levites, prepared [animals] for them.

16 So everything was arranged that day for the worship of the LORD. The Passover was celebrated, and the burnt offerings were sacrificed on the LORD's altar as King Josiah had commanded.

17 The Israelites who were present celebrated the Passover at that time. They also celebrated the Festival of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

18 Never had a Passover like this been celebrated in Israel during the time of the prophet Samuel or the kings of Israel. They did not celebrate the Passover as Josiah celebrated it with priests, Levites, all of Judah, the people of Israel who could be found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
