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.
