2 Chronicles 30:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:24

For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation one
thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep
He separated them, as Kimchi interprets it, from his own herds and flocks; or out of his own substance, at his own expense purchased them; or lifted them up, as the word signifies, as heave offerings to the Lord; and gave them to the people for thank offerings to feast upon:

and the princes gave to the congregation one thousand bullocks, and ten
thousand sheep:
for the same purposes, following the king's example:

and a great number of priests sanctified themselves;
besides those who had before, that they might be fit to offer this great number of sacrifices.

2 Chronicles 30:24 In-Context

22 Hizkiyahu spoke encouragingly to all the L'vi'im who were well skilled in the service of ADONAI. Thus they ate throughout the festival for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace offerings and giving thanks to ADONAI, the God of their ancestors.

23 Then the whole assembly decided to celebrate for yet another seven days, and they observed those seven days too with joy.

24 For Hizkiyahu king of Y'hudah gave the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for offerings, while the leaders gave the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and great numbers of cohanim consecrated themselves.

25 All the people who had assembled from Y'hudah rejoiced, as did the cohanim and L'vi'im, those assembled from Isra'el, and the foreigners who had come from the territory of Isra'el or who lived in Y'hudah.

26 So there was great joy in Yerushalayim; for since the time of Shlomo the son of David, king of Isra'el, there had been nothing like it in Yerushalayim.
