2 Chronicles 35:5

And stand in the holy place
The court of the priests, where their ministrations were:

according to the divisions of the families of your brethren the people;
of the other tribes, who were according to their families to provide a lamb for the passover:

and after the division of the families of the Levites;
who were obliged to observe the same ordinance in their respective families, and for whom, as well as for the other families of Israel, they were to slay the lamb.

2 Chronicles 35:5 In-Context

3 He issued this order to the Levites, who were to teach all Israel and who had been set apart to serve the LORD : “Put the holy Ark in the Temple that was built by Solomon son of David, the king of Israel. You no longer need to carry it back and forth on your shoulders. Now spend your time serving the LORD your God and his people Israel.

4 Report for duty according to the family divisions of your ancestors, following the directions of King David of Israel and the directions of his son Solomon.

5 “Then stand in the sanctuary at the place appointed for your family division and help the families assigned to you as they bring their offerings to the Temple.

6 Slaughter the Passover lambs, purify yourselves, and prepare to help those who come. Follow all the directions that the LORD gave through Moses.”

7 Then Josiah provided 30,000 lambs and young goats for the people’s Passover offerings, along with 3,000 cattle, all from the king’s own flocks and herds.
