2 Chronicles 35:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 35:12

And they removed the burnt offerings
Either such of the lambs and kids as were designed for burnt offerings for the people; these they separated from those that were for the passover; or they removed from them what was to be burnt, the fat of the inwards, of the kidneys, and the caul on the liver:

that they might give;
the rest for the passover:

according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer
unto the Lord;
according to the number of them:

as it is written in the book of Moses;
see ( Leviticus 3:3-5 ) ,

and so did they with the oxen;
such of them as were appointed for burnt offerings were set apart by themselves, and such as were for peace offerings; what of them were to be burnt, as those before mentioned, were taken from them.

2 Chronicles 35:12 In-Context

10 And the ministry was prepared, and the priests stood in their office: the Levites also in their companies, according to the king’s commandment.

11 And the phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:

12 And they separated them, to give them by the houses and families of every one, and to be offered to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses, and with the oxen they did in like manner.

13 And they roasted the phase with fire, according to that which is written in the law: but the victims of peace offerings they boiled in caldrons, and kettles, and pots, and they distributed them speedily among all the people.

14 And afterwards they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: for the priests were busied in offering of holocausts and the fat until night, wherefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron last.
