Context — Hezekiah Celebrates the Passover
22And Hezekiah encouraged all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. For seven days they ate their assigned portion, sacrificing peace offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.
23The whole assembly agreed to observe seven more days, so they observed seven days with joy.
24For Hezekiah king of Judah contributed a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep for the assembly, and the officials contributed a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep for the assembly, and a great number of priests consecrated themselves.
25Then the whole assembly of Judah rejoiced along with the priests and Levites and the whole assembly that had come from Israel, including the foreigners who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah. 26So there was great rejoicing in Jerusalem, for nothing like this had happened there since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel.Cross References

What does it mean that a great number of priests consecrated themselves?
The consecration of the priests, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 30:24, signifies their purification and preparation to serve the Lord, much like the consecration of the priests in Exodus 29:1 and Leviticus 8:12.
How does this verse relate to the overall theme of 2 Chronicles 30?
This verse highlights the generous provisions made for the assembly, which contributed to the overall joy and celebration of the Passover, as described in 2 Chronicles 30:21-26, and demonstrates the people's renewed commitment to the Lord, as seen in 2 Chronicles 30:6-9.
Reflection Questions
- What can I learn from Hezekiah's example of generosity and provision for the assembly, and how can I apply this to my own life?
- How can I, like the priests in this verse, consecrate myself to serve the Lord and prepare my heart for worship?
- What role does unity and cooperation play in our worship and service to the Lord, and how can I cultivate this in my own community?
- In what ways can I demonstrate my commitment to the Lord, as Hezekiah and the officials did through their contributions, and what sacrifices can I make to honor Him?

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:24
Hezekiah did give to the congregation; first to God, to whom the parts appointed were offered in way of thanksgiving; and then to the people, who feasted upon the relics, as the offerer used to do in peace-offerings; and Hezekiah, who was the offerer, gave away his right in the remains of the sacrifices to the people. A thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; which generosity is the more considerable, because it was in the beginning of his reign, when he found the royal exchequer exhausted and empty; and when he had been at great expense about the cleansing and refitting of the temple, and making preparations for this great feast. A great number of priests sanctified themselves; having now both more time and further need of sanctifying themselves to offer these numerous sacrifices.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:24
2 Chronicles 30:24 For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.Ver. 24. And the princes gave a thousand bullocks.] Neither the king nor princes spared for cost to further so good a motion, and to draw the people to stay with delight; those of the ten tribes especially, that they may be better instructed.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 30:24
(24) Did give . . . gave.—Had presented (Exodus 35:24)—scil., for sacrifice as a tĕ ?rûmâh, or “heave offering.” The gifts of king and princes for the Mazzôth festival were so abundant that they sufficed not only for the feast itself, but also for an additional week of rejoicing. And a great number of priests.—Literally, and priests had sanctified themselves in multitude, or to abundance. The priests no longer hung back as they had done previously (2 Chronicles 30:3; 2 Chronicles 30:15; 2 Chronicles 29:34). There was now no lack of persons duly purified for the sacrifice of so many victims.
