Print
Everything for the Lord’s sacrifice was accomplished on that day. They celebrated the Passover and offered sacrifices on the Lord’s altar according to King Josiah’s command.
The gatekeepers were at each gate; no one needed to interrupt his daily duties, for their kindred the Levites prepared the passover for them.
So the things that had to do with the sacrifices to the Lord were accomplished that day: the Passover was kept and the sacrifices were offered on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah.
The gatekeepers were at each gate; no one needed to depart from his duties, for their brethren the Levites prepared the passover for them.
and the porters by all the gates offered, so that none passed his gate. Forsooth their brethren prepared to (or made ready for) them.
