And a great number of priests. — Literally, and priests had sanctified themselves in multitude, or to abundance. The priests no longer hung back as they had done previously (2 Chronicles 30:3; 2 Chronicles 30:15; 2 Chronicles 29:34). There was now no lack of persons duly purified for the sacrifice of so many victims.
