Notes

2 Chronicles 29:31–36

  • After purifying and rededicating the temple, people made individual offerings and sacrifices.

  • The thanksgiving offerings were also known as praise offerings, peace offerings, or offerings of well-being (see Leviticus 3).

2 Chronicles 29:12–36

To start sanctifying the temple, the Levites first sanctified themselves. They likely purified themselves by bringing offerings (see 2 Chronicles 30:15). Then they began to cleanse the temple. Two steps were needed to restore the temple:

  1. Purification (removing pollution, 2 Chronicles 29:15–17)

  2. Sanctification (rededicating the temple for holy worship, 2 Chronicles 29:20–36)
