2 Chronicles 35:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Removed — Some of the lesser cattle; for these also might be offered as burnt — offerings, Leviticus 1:10, and hence it may seem that all these small cattle were not given for paschal — lambs, but were to be offered as burnt — offerings for the people. And these they put apart lest they should be confounded with them which were for another use; and, that they might not be hindered from that which was their present work, that they might give, the paschal — lambs or kids. To offer — These words may belong to the last words, and to the paschal — lambs, which they were first to offer to the Lord, by killing them and sprinkling the blood, and then to give to the people; though the giving be here mentioned before the offering, such transpositions being usual in scripture. Oxen — As they did with the lesser cattle; they removed those oxen which were to be offered as burnt — offerings, from those which were to be offered as peace — offerings.

2 Chronicles 35:12

12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
