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.
