Context — Josiah Restores the Passover
10So the service was prepared; the priests stood in their places and the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command.
11And they slaughtered the Passover lambs, while the priests splattered the blood handed to them and the Levites skinned the animals.
12They set aside the burnt offerings to be given to the divisions of the families of the people to offer to the LORD, as it 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.Cross References

This was done according to the instructions in the Book of Moses, which emphasizes the importance of following God's commands. By doing this, the people were able to worship the Lord together, as a community, and demonstrate their reverence and obedience to Him, just like we are called to do in our own worship, as seen in (Hebrews 10:25) and (Psalm 95:6). This verse reminds us that our worship should be guided by God's Word and characterized by a spirit of reverence and obedience.

Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 35:12
And they removed the burnt offerings,.... Either such of the lambs and kids as were designed for burnt offerings for the people; these they separated from those that were for the passover; or they
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 35:12
And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 35:12
They removed the burnt-offerings, i.e. those cattle which were to be offered for burnt-offerings, to wit, some of the lesser cattle; for these also might be offered as burnt-offerings, . And hence it may seem that all these small cattle were not given to the people to be eaten by them for their paschal lambs, but that some of them were to be offered as burnt-offerings for the people. And these they put apart by themselves, partly lest they should be confounded with them which were for another use; and partly that they might not be hindered from that which was their present and more immediate work, as it follows, that they might give, to wit, the paschal lambs or kids. To offer unto the Lord: these words may belong either, 1. To the more remote words, the burnt-offerings, the other words being to be put within a parenthesis, or there being a trajection in the words, which is frequent in Scripture, and which is here observed by some learned interpreters. Or, 2. To the last words, and to the paschal lambs, which they were first to offer to the Lord, by killing them and sprinkling the blood, as was noted before, and then to be given to the people; though the giving be here mentioned before the offering, such transpositions being usual in Scripture and other authors. So did they with the oxen, to wit, as they did with the lesser cattle, of which see the first note on this verse. They removed those oxen which were to be offered as burnt-offerings, from those which were to be offered as peace-offerings.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 35:12
2 Chronicles 35:12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as [it is] written in the book of Moses. And so [did they] with the oxen.Ver. 12. To offer unto the Lord.] The burntofferings were wholly consumed on the altar; the skin and dung were "burnt without the camp." Hereby was signified, (1.) Christ’ s ardent love and zeal towards his people; (2.) His bitter passion in the whole man.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 35:12
(12) They removed.—Cut off those parts of the victims which had to be consumed on the altar of burnt offering. (Comp. Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 4:31.) These parts are naturally called “the burnt offering,” although no special burnt offering was appointed for the evening of the Passover. That they might give . . . people.—To give them to the sections of the father-houses of the sons of the people. After separating the proper pieces, the Levites gave them to the sections which they were serving, to be presented in turn to the priests for burning on the altar. To Offer.—Haqrîb; as in Leviticus 3:9; Leviticus 3:14. As it is written.—Referring to the rule that “all the fat is the Lord’s” (Leviticus 3:16). And so did they.—And so for the oxen. The proper portions of these also were separated for consumption on the brazen altar; the rest of the carcases furnished food for the sacrificial festivities.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 35:12
12. that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people] R.V. that they might give them according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of the children of the people.
