Every thing was got ready both for the passover and the feast of unleavened bread, for all sorts of people, rich and poor:

in their court near the altar, to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifices about it, as in the following verse:

2 Chronicles 35:10 In-Context

8 His officials also voluntarily gave animals to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the men in charge of God's temple, gave the priests 2,600 sheep and goats and 300 bulls for Passover sacrifices.

9 Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, gave the Levites 5,000 sheep and goats and 500 bulls as Passover sacrifices.

10 So the service was prepared. The priests took their positions with the Levites according to their divisions, as the king had ordered.

11 They slaughtered the Passover lambs. The priests sprinkled the blood with their hands while the Levites skinned the lambs.

12 They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the laypeople according to their family divisions. The laypeople could then present them to the LORD as written in the Book of Moses. The Levites did the same with the bulls.
