2 Chronicles 35:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:13

And they roasted the passover with fire, according to the
ordinance
Of the Lord by Moses, ( Exodus 12:8 )

but the other holy offerings;
which were the peace offerings:

sod they in pots, and in cauldrons, and pans;
which was forbid to be done with the passover lamb, but might with the other sacrifices, which were to be eaten, ( Exodus 12:9 )

and divided them speedily among all the people;
the parts which belonged to the offerer, who was the king; but he gave his part to the people, and therefore the Levites delivered them to them as soon as they could.

2 Chronicles 35:13 In-Context

11 Then they slaughtered the Passover [lambs], and while the Levites were skinning the [animals], the priests sprinkled the blood they had been given.

12 They removed the burnt offerings so that they might be given to the divisions of the ancestral houses of the lay people to offer to the Lord, according to what is written in the book of Moses; [they did] the same with the bulls.

13 They roasted the Passover [lambs] with fire according to regulation. They boiled the holy [sacrifices] in pots, in kettles, and in bowls; and they quickly brought [them] to the lay people.

14 Afterwards, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were busy offering up burnt offerings and fat until night. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.

15 The singers, the descendants of Asaph, were at their stations according to the command of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer. Also, the gatekeepers were at each gate. Because their Levite brothers had made preparations for them, none of them left their tasks.
