Chronicles II 35:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:1

Moreover, Josiah kept a passover unto the Lord in Jerusalem,
&c.] Where only it was to be kept:

and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month;
the month Nisan, as the Targum, which was the exact time of killing the passover lamb, according to the law of Moses, ( Exodus 12:6 ) , in the Vulgate Latin version of the Apocrypha in:

``And Josias held the feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the first month;'' (1 Esdras 1:1)

it is called the fourteenth moon of the first month; a phrase often used in ecclesiastical writers, when speaking of the time of the passover; and so we now call one of the days of the week "dies lunae", Monday.

Chronicles II 35:1 In-Context

1 And Josias kept a passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

2 And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord.

3 And he told the Levites that were able in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord: and they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built: and the king said, Ye must not carry anything on your shoulders: now then minister to the Lord your God, and to his people Israel.

4 And prepare yourselves according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and by the hand of his son Solomon.

5 And stand ye in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family.
