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.

2 Chronicles 35:12 In-Context

10 And the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king's commandment.

11 And they slaughtered the passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood] from their hand, and the Levites flayed them.

12 And they set apart the burnt-offerings to give them to the classes of the fathers' houses of the children of the people, to present them to Jehovah, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.

13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance; and the consecrated things they boiled in pots and in cauldrons and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the children of the people.

14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves and for the priests; because the priests, the sons of Aaron, [were engaged] in offering up the burnt-offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
