[small livestock], and three hundred oxen.
035:009 Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers,
and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites,
gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand
[small livestock], and five hundred oxen.
035:010 So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in
their place, and the Levites by their divisions, according to
the king's commandment.
035:011 They killed the Passover, and the priests sprinkled [the blood
which they received] of their hand, and the Levites flayed them.
035:012 They removed the burnt offerings, that they might give them
according to the divisions of the fathers' houses of the children
of the people, to offer to Yahweh, as it is written in the book
of Moses. So did they with the oxen.
035:013 They roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance:
and the holy offerings boiled they in pots, and in caldrons,
and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the children
of the people.
035:014 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.
035:015 The singers the sons of Asaph were in their place,
according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman,
and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters were at every gate:
they didn't need to depart from their service; for their
brothers the Levites prepared for them.
035:016 So all the service of Yahweh was prepared the same day,
to keep the Passover, and to offer burnt offerings on the altar
of Yahweh, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
035:017 The children of Israel who were present kept the Passover
at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
035:018 There was no Passover like that kept in Israel from the days
of Samuel the prophet; neither did any of the kings of Israel
keep such a Passover as Josiah kept, and the priests,
and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present,
and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
035:019 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this Passover kept.
035:020 After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Neco king
of Egypt went up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates:
and Josiah went out against him.
035:021 But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with you,
you king of Judah? [I come] not against you this day,
but against the house with which I have war; and God has commanded
me to make haste: forbear you from [meddling with] God,
who is with me, that he not destroy you.
