2 Chronicles 29:22 In-Context

20 Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials together. They went up to the LORD's temple.

21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven male lambs and seven male goats with them. They sacrificed the animals as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the temple and for Judah. The king commanded the priests to offer them on the LORD's altar. The priests were from the family line of Aaron.

23 The goats for the sin offering were brought to the king and the whole community. They placed their hands on them.
