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 After that, they got things ready for themselves and the priests. That's because the priests, who were from the family line of Aaron, were busy until dark. They were sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat parts. The Levites got things ready for themselves and for the priests, who belonged to Aaron's family line.

15 Those who played music were from the family line of Asaph. They were in the places that had been set up by David, Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun. Jeduthun had been the king's prophet. The guards at each gate didn't have to leave their places. That's because their brother Levites got things ready for them.

16 So at that time the entire service in honor of the LORD was carried out. The Passover Feast was celebrated. The burnt offerings were sacrificed on the LORD's altar. That's what King Josiah had ordered.

17 The people of Israel who were there celebrated the Passover at that time. They observed the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.

18 The Passover hadn't been observed like that in Israel since the days of the prophet Samuel. None of the kings of Israel had ever celebrated a Passover like Josiah's. He celebrated it with the priests and Levites. All of the people of Judah and Israel were there along with the people of Jerusalem.
