2 Chronicles 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:1

Moreover, Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem,
&c.] Where only it was to be kept:

and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month;
the month Nisan, as the Targum, which was the exact time of killing the passover lamb, according to the law of Moses, ( Exodus 12:6 ) , in the Vulgate Latin version of the Apocrypha in:

``And Josias held the feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the first month;'' (1 Esdras 1:1)

it is called the fourteenth moon of the first month; a phrase often used in ecclesiastical writers, when speaking of the time of the passover; and so we now call one of the days of the week "dies lunae", Monday.

2 Chronicles 35:1 In-Context

1 Yoshiyahu kept Pesach to ADONAI in Yerushalayim. They slaughtered the Pesach lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 He assigned the cohanim to their posts and encouraged them to perform the service of the house of ADONAI.

3 To the L'vi'im who were teaching all Isra'el and were holy for ADONAI he said, "Put the holy ark in the house which Shlomo the son of David, king of Isra'el, built; after this, you will not have to carry it again. Now serve ADONAI your God and his people Isra'el.

4 Organize yourselves by clans and duty divisions according to the arrangement written down by David king of Isra'el and Shlomo his son.

5 Stand in the Holy Place according to the divisions of the clans of your kinsmen the ordinary people, with part of a clan of L'vi'im serving each clan [of Isra'el].
