2 Chronicles 35:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:14

And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the
priests
The passover lambs, and such parts of the peace offerings that belonged to them:

because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering
burnt offerings;
such as are before said to be removed or separated for that purpose:

and the fat;
of the peace offerings that was to be burnt: and this employed them

until night;
so that they could not prepare the passover for themselves:

and therefore the Levites prepared, not only for themselves, [but] and
[also] for the priests the sons of Aaron; who were otherwise engaged in the service of the day.

15 And the singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their places, according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. Also the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not have to leave their position, because their brethren the Levites prepared portions for them.

16 So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah.
