Notes

2 Chronicles 35:7–9

The Passover sacrifice required lambs and young goats (Exodus 12:21). The cattle were an extra offering. The totals Josiah provided, along with others' contributions, were nearly double those in Hezekiah’s time (see 2 Chronicles 30:24). However, they were less than the offerings at the temple dedication (see 2 Chronicles 7:5).
