2 Chronicles 35:5–13

⁵Serve in the holy place by the groupings of the ancestral families^C for your brothers, the lay people, and according to the division of the Levites by family.^{l 6}Slaughter the Passover lambs,^m consecrate yourselves,ⁿ and make preparations for your brothers to carry out the word of the Lord through Moses.”

⁷Then Josiah donated thirty thousand sheep, lambs, and young goats, plus three thousand cattle from his own possessions, for the Passover sacrifices for all the lay people who were present.

⁸His officials also donated willingly for the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, chief officials of God’s temple, gave twenty-six hundred Passover sacrifices and three hundred cattle for the priests. ⁹Conaniah^o and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated five thousand Passover sacrifices for the Levites, plus five hundred cattle.

¹⁰So the service was established; the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.^{p 11}Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs, and while the Levites were skinning the animals,^q the priests splattered the blood^E they had been given.^{F 12}They removed the burnt offerings so that they might be given to the groupings of the ancestral families^G of the lay people to offer to the Lord, according to what is written in the book of Moses; they did the same with the cattle. ¹³They roasted the Passover lambs with fire according to regulation.^r They boiled the holy sacrifices in pots, kettles, and bowls; and they quickly brought them to the lay people.
