2 Chronicles 29:35 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:35

And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat
of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings, for every
burnt offering
Besides the abundance of burnt offerings, whose skins were to be taken off, there were meat offerings and drink offerings to each, which required many hands to prepare them; and also the fat of the peace offerings was to be burnt; which, all together, occasioned a great deal of business: so the service of the house of the Lord was set in order:
both for sacrifice and singing; a good beginning was made, and there was a good foundation laid to proceed on.

2 Chronicles 29:35 In-Context

33 The consecrated things were 600 bulls and 3,000 sheep.

34 But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was completed and until the other priests had consecrated themselves. For the Levites were more conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.

35 There were also many burnt offerings with the fat of the peace offerings and with the libations for the burnt offerings. Thus the service of the house of the LORD was established again.

36 Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had prepared for the people, because the thing came about suddenly.
