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 Preparations were complete for the service of worship; the priests took up their positions and the Levites were at their posts as instructed by the king.

11 They killed the Passover lambs, and while the priests sprinkled the blood from the lambs, the Levites skinned them out.

12 Then they set aside the Whole-Burnt-Offering for presentation to the family groupings of the people so that each group could offer it to God following the instructions in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.

13 They roasted the Passover lamb according to the instructions and boiled the consecrated offerings in pots and kettles and pans and promptly served the people.

14 After the people had eaten the holy meal, the Levites served themselves and the Aaronite priests - the priests were busy late into the night making the offerings at the Altar.
