Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
35:7-9 The Passover sacrifice required lambs and young goats (Exod 12:21). The cattle were an additional offering. The totals Josiah provided along with the contributions of others were nearly double the offerings in Hezekiah’s time (see 2 Chr 30:24), yet less than the offerings at the dedication of the Temple (see 7:5).
