Josiah Restores the Passover
12They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as is written in the Book of Moses; and they did the same with the bulls. 13They roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the regulation, and they boiled the other holy offerings in pots, kettles, and bowls and quickly brought them to all the people. 14Afterward, they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, since the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering up burnt offerings and fat until nightfall. So the Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.…

They roasted the Passover lambs over the fire
The act of roasting the Passover lambs over the fire is deeply rooted in the original Passover instructions given in Exodus 12:8-9. The Hebrew word for "roasted" is "צָלָה" (tzalah), which signifies a specific method of cooking that preserves the integrity of the meat, symbolizing the purity and wholeness required in the sacrificial offering. This method of preparation is a direct obedience to God's command, reflecting the Israelites' commitment to maintaining the sanctity of the Passover, a pivotal event commemorating their deliverance from Egypt. The fire represents purification and divine presence, a reminder of God's guidance and protection.

according to the regulation
The phrase "according to the regulation" underscores the importance of adhering to divine instructions. The Hebrew term "מִשְׁפָּט" (mishpat) refers to a decree or ordinance, emphasizing the structured and ordained nature of worship practices. This adherence to regulation highlights the Israelites' dedication to following God's law as given through Moses, ensuring that their worship remains pure and acceptable. It serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience in the life of faith, where God's commands are not burdensome but are designed for the well-being and spiritual growth of His people.

and they boiled the other holy offerings
Boiling the other holy offerings, as opposed to roasting, indicates a different method of preparation for different types of sacrifices. The Hebrew word "בָּשַׁל" (bashal) means to boil or cook, and it reflects the diversity of sacrificial practices within the temple worship. This distinction in preparation methods signifies the varied ways in which offerings were made to God, each with its own symbolic meaning and purpose. The holy offerings, which could include peace offerings or other sacrifices, were part of the communal worship experience, fostering unity and shared devotion among the people.

in pots, kettles, and bowls
The use of "pots, kettles, and bowls" for boiling the offerings indicates the practical aspects of temple service and the communal nature of the feast. These vessels, mentioned in the Hebrew as "סִיר" (sir), "דּוּד" (dud), and "מִזְרָק" (mizrak), were essential for preparing the food that would be shared among the people. The variety of utensils reflects the organized and communal effort involved in temple worship, where each item had a specific role in facilitating the sacrificial process. This imagery evokes a sense of community and shared responsibility in worship, where each person plays a part in honoring God.

and quickly brought them to all the people
The phrase "quickly brought them to all the people" highlights the efficiency and dedication of the Levites and priests in serving the congregation. The Hebrew root "מָהַר" (mahar) means to hasten or act swiftly, indicating the urgency and importance of distributing the offerings to ensure that all could partake in the sacred meal. This act of service reflects the heart of ministry, where leaders prioritize the needs of the people and facilitate their participation in worship. It underscores the communal aspect of the Passover celebration, where every individual is included in the remembrance of God's deliverance and provision.

(13) According to the ordinance.--Exodus 12:8-9.

Boasted with fire.--Cooked in the fire.

But the other holy offerings sod they . . . pans.--And the consecrated things they cooked in the pots, and in the caldrons, and in the pans.--"The consecrated things" are the oxen (2Chronicles 29:33). Their flesh was boiled or fried, and handed with all due haste by the Levites to the laity.

The author tells us here not only what was done on the evening of the fourteenth Nisan, the Passover proper, but also during the seven following days of the Feast of Mazzoth, or Unleavened Bread. On the Passover evening only the paschal lambs and kids would be eaten; the oxen were slain as peace offerings during the subsequent festivities (Deuteronomy 16:1-8), and furnished forth the sacrificial meals.

And divided them speedily . . . the people.--And brought them quickly to all the sons of the people, so that the meat did not get cold. (Comp. Genesis 41:14.) This little touch of realism calls up a picture. We see the whole busy scene, the different groups of the people scattered here and there about the sacred court, and the Levites bringing them their portions of the savoury meat. . . .

Verse 13. - Roasted. (For the emphatic and repeated command to roast, see Exodus 12:8, 9; Deuteronomy 16:7.) Sod. The sodden or boiled offerings, peace offerings, were ordinarily eaten on the days of unleavened bread, and then particularly on the first and seventh (Leviticus 23:4-8, etc.). Divided them speedily among all the people. The marginal rendering of the original, and the Revised Version rendering, carried them quickly, may be noted; nevertheless attention is invited, probably not so much to the speed or quickness in question, but to the fact that "all the people" were carefully attended to.
