2 CHRONICLES 35:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king’s substance.”
Josiah's provision of animals for Passover sacrifice - thirty thousand lambs and young goats, plus three thousand bulls - demonstrates extraordinary royal generosity and commitment to ensuring the festival's magnificence. The scale of his provision suggests massive crowd expectations and indicates the nation-wide significance of this Passover observance. The sheer numbers indicate that Josiah invested substantially in the festival's success, not merely ceremonially but materially. This verse illustrates the principle that commitment to God's worship extends to generosity in resourcing communal religious practice.
