2 Chronicles 35:10

So the service was prepared
Every thing was got ready both for the passover and the feast of unleavened bread, for all sorts of people, rich and poor:

and the priests stood in their place;
in their court near the altar, to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifices about it, as in the following verse:

and the Levites in their courses;
whose turn it was to officiate:

according to the king's commandment,
( 2 Chronicles 35:4 ) .

2 Chronicles 35:10 In-Context

8 His officials also provided spontaneous gift offerings for the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the ones in charge of God's temple, gave two thousand six hundred Passover lambs and three hundred bulls for the priests.

9 Conaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the leaders of the Levites, provided the Levites with five thousand lambs and five hundred bulls as Passover sacrifices.

10 When everything was ready, the priests and the Levites took their places as the king had ordered.

11 Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs, and the priests splashed the blood while the Levites skinned the animals.

12 Next they divided the entirely burned offerings among the laypeople by their families to sacrifice to the LORD as written in the scroll from Moses, and they did the same with the bulls.
