2 Chronicles 30:24 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:24

For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation one
thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep
He separated them, as Kimchi interprets it, from his own herds and flocks; or out of his own substance, at his own expense purchased them; or lifted them up, as the word signifies, as heave offerings to the Lord; and gave them to the people for thank offerings to feast upon:

and the princes gave to the congregation one thousand bullocks, and ten
thousand sheep:
for the same purposes, following the king's example:

and a great number of priests sanctified themselves;
besides those who had before, that they might be fit to offer this great number of sacrifices.

2 Chronicles 30:24 In-Context

22 Hizkiyahu spoke comfortably to all the Levites who had good understanding [in the service] of the LORD. So they ate throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and making confession to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

23 The whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.

24 For Hizkiyahu king of Yehudah did give to the assembly for offerings one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of Kohanim sanctified themselves.

25 All the assembly of Yehudah, with the Kohanim and the Levites, and all the assembly who came out of Yisra'el, and the sojourners who came out of Eretz-Yisra'el, and who lived in Yehudah, rejoiced.

26 So there was great joy in Yerushalayim; for since the time of Shlomo the son of David king of Yisra'el there was not the like in Yerushalayim.
