2 Chronicles 29:22

So they killed the bullocks

2 Chronicles 29:22 In-Context

20 Early the next morning Hezekiah gathered the city leaders and went to the LORD's temple.
21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, and seven lambs, along with seven male goats, for a purification offering on behalf of the kingdom, the sanctuary, and Judah. Hezekiah ordered the priests, Aaron's sons, to offer them up on the LORD's altar.
22 When they slaughtered the bulls, the priests took the blood and splashed it against the altar. Next they slaughtered the rams and splashed their blood against the altar, and also slaughtered the lambs, splashing their blood against the altar as well.
23 Finally, they brought the goats for the purification offering before the king and the assembly. After laying their hands on them,
24 the priests slaughtered them and smeared the blood on the altar as a purification offering to take away the sin of all Israel, because the king had specifically ordered that the entirely burned sacrifice and the purification offering should be on behalf of all Israel.
