2 Chronicles 29:22

So they killed the bullocks

2 Chronicles 29:22 In-Context

20 Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the leaders of the city and went up to the Temple of the Lord.
21 They brought seven bulls, seven male sheep, seven lambs, and seven male goats. These animals were an offering to remove the sin of the people and the kingdom of Judah and to make the Temple ready for service to God. King Hezekiah commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer these animals on the Lord's altar.
22 So the priests killed the bulls and sprinkled their blood on the altar. They killed the sheep and sprinkled their blood on the altar. Then they killed the lambs and sprinkled their blood on the altar.
23 Then the priests brought the male goats for the sin offering before the king and the people there. After the king and the people put their hands on the goats,
24 the priests killed them. With the goats' blood they made an offering on the altar to remove the sins of the Israelites so they would belong to God. The king had said that the burnt offering and sin offering should be made for all Israel.
