2 Chronicles 35:1-19
1Josiah celebrated in Jerusalem a Passover to YHWH, and they slaughtered the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2He set the priests in their watches and strengthened them for the service of the house of YHWH. 3He said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to YHWH, “Put the holy ark in the house that Solomon son of David, king of Israel, built; it is no longer a burden for you on the shoulder. Now serve YHWH your Elohim and his people Israel. 4Prepare yourselves by your fathers’ houses, according to your divisions, following the writing of David king of Israel and the writing of Solomon his son. 5Stand in the Holy Place by the sections of the fathers’ houses of your brothers, the sons of the people, and by the portion of a father’s house of the Levites. 6Slaughter the Passover, sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brothers, to do according to the word of YHWH through Moses.” 7Josiah contributed to the sons of the people flock animals, lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle; these were from the possessions of the king. 8And his officials contributed as a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the leaders of the house of Elohim, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand six hundred flock animals and three hundred cattle. 9Conaniah, and Shemaiah and Nethanel his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the officials of the Levites, contributed to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand flock animals and five hundred cattle. 10So the service was prepared, and the priests stood at their post, and the Levites by their divisions, according to the commandment of the king. 11They slaughtered the Passover, and the priests splashed the blood they received from their hand, and the Levites were skinning. 12They set apart the burnt offering to give it by the sections of the fathers’ houses to the sons of the people, to present to YHWH, as it is written in the book of Moses; and so they did with the cattle. 13They cooked the Passover over the fire according to the rule, and the holy things they cooked in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and brought them quickly to all the sons of the people. 14Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were busy offering the burnt offering and the fat portions until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron. 15The singers, the sons of Asaph, were at their post, according to the commandment of David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the seer of the king; and the gatekeepers were at each gate. There was no need for them to turn away from their service, for their brothers the Levites prepared for them. 16So all the service of YHWH was prepared on that day to celebrate the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of YHWH, according to the commandment of King Josiah. 17The sons of Israel who were present celebrated the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days. 18No Passover like it had been celebrated in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had celebrated such a Passover as Josiah celebrated, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was celebrated.
21The king commanded all the people, saying, “Celebrate the Passover to YHWH your Elohim, as it is written in this book of the covenant.” 22For there had not been celebrated one like this Passover since the days of the judges who judged Israel, or in all the days of the kings of Israel and of the kings of Judah; 23but in year eighteen of King Josiah this Passover was celebrated to YHWH in Jerusalem.
7Josiah contributed to the sons of the people flock animals, lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, for all who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle; these were from the possessions of the king.
