2 Chronicles 35:7-19

Leeser(i) 7 And Josiah set apart for the sons of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover-sacrifices, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and of steers three thousand: these were of the king’s property. 8 And his princes set apart much as a freewill gift for the people for the priests, and for the Levites: Chilkiyah, and Zecharyahu, and Jechiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-sacrifices two thousand and six hundred lambs and kids, and three hundred steers. 9 And Conanyahu, and Shema’yahu and Nethanel, his brothers, and Chashabyahu and Je’iel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, set apart unto the Levites for passover-sacrifices five thousand lambs and kids, and five hundred steers. 10 So the service was established, and the priests stood on their station, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king’s command. 11 And they slaughtered the passover-sacrifice, and the priests sprinkled the blood received from their hands, and the Levites did the flaying. 12 And they removed the burnt-offerings to give them to the divisions of the family divisions of the sons of the people, to offer them unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the steers. 13 And they roasted the passover by the fire in accordance with the prescribed manner; but the holy offerings they seethed in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the sons of the people. 14 And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the burnt-offerings and the fat until night: therefore the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron. 15 And the singers the sons of Assaph were on their station, according to the command of David, and Assaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s seer; and the gatekeepers were at every gate: they had no need to depart from their service; because their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 16 So was established all the service of the Lord on the same day, to prepare the passover-sacrifice, and to offer burnt-offerings upon the altar of the Lord, according to the command of king Josiah. 17 And the children of Israel that were present prepared the passover-sacrifice at that time, and kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days. 18 And there was not holden any passover like this in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and all the kings of Israel did not keep such a passover as Josiah kept, with the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover holden.
