2 Chronicles 29:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:21

And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven
lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for
the sanctuary, and for Judah
To make atonement in a typical way, having respect to the sacrifice of the Messiah, for the sins of the king, his family and court, among whom idolatry had prevailed in the times of his father; and for the cleansing of the temple, which had been polluted by the idolatries of Ahaz; and for the expiation of the whole land; seven of each sort are ordered, though only one goat was required for a sin offering by the law, because of the multitude of transgressions that had been committed, and because of the length of time in which sacrifices had been neglected: and he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the
altar of the Lord:
the altar of burnt offerings, whose business it was to do it.

2 Chronicles 29:21 In-Context

19 We have also cleaned up and consecrated all the vessels which King Ahaz had gotten rid of during his misrule. Take a look; we have repaired them. They're all there in front of the Altar of God."

20 Then Hezekiah the king went to work: He got all the leaders of the city together and marched to The Temple of God.

21 They brought with them seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven he-goats to sacrifice as an Absolution-Offering for the royal family, for the Sanctuary, and for Judah as a whole; he directed the Aaronite priests to sacrifice them on the Altar of God.

22 The priests butchered the bulls and then took the blood and sprinkled it on the Altar, and then the same with the rams and lambs.

23 Finally they brought the goats up; the king and congregation laid their hands upon them.
