2 Chronicles 35:5–13

“Stand in the holy place with a group of Levites for each subdivision of the families of your fellow Israelites, the lay people. Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves^d and prepare the lambs for your fellow Israelites, doing what the Lord commanded through Moses.”

Josiah provided for all the lay people who were there a total of thirty thousand lambs and goats for the Passover offerings,^e and also three thousand cattle—all from the king’s own possessions.^f

His officials also contributed^g voluntarily to the people and the priests and Levites. Hilkiah,^h Zechariah and Jehiel, the officials in charge of God’s temple, gave the priests twenty-six hundred Passover offerings and three hundred cattle. Also Konaniahⁱ along with Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad,^j the leaders of the Levites, provided five thousand Passover offerings and five hundred head of cattle for the Levites.

The service was arranged and the priests stood in their places with the Levites in their divisions^k as the king had ordered.^l The Passover lambs were slaughtered,^m and the priests splashed against the altar the blood handed to them, while the Levites skinned the animals. They set aside the burnt offerings to give them to the subdivisions of the families of the people to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did the same with the cattle. They roasted the Passover animals over the fire as prescribed,ⁿ and boiled the holy offerings in pots, caldrons and pans and served them quickly to all the people.
