2 Chronicles 35:10

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

and the priests stood in their place;
in their court near the altar, to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifices about it, as in the following verse:

and the Levites in their courses;
whose turn it was to officiate:

according to the king's commandment,
( 2 Chronicles 35:4 ) .

2 Chronicles 35:10 In-Context

8 His officials also pitched in on behalf of the people, including the priests and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in The Temple of God, gave 2,600 lambs and 300 bulls to the priests for the Passover offerings.
9 Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with the Levitical chiefs Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, donated 5,000 lambs and 500 bulls to the Levites for the Passover offerings.
10 Preparations were complete for the service of worship; the priests took up their positions and the Levites were at their posts as instructed by the king.
11 They killed the Passover lambs, and while the priests sprinkled the blood from the lambs, the Levites skinned them out.
12 Then they set aside the Whole-Burnt-Offering for presentation to the family groupings of the people so that each group could offer it to God following the instructions in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle.
