2Ch 35:13 And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the [other] holy [offerings] sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided [them] speedily among all the people.

Ver. 13. And they roasted the passover with fire.] To set forth Christ roasted for us in the fire of his Father’s fierce wrath. Area amorem illius, &c. By way of retribution, let us do as is prescribed in Heb 13:10-17.

And divided them speedily.] Heb., Made them run. Bis dat qui cito dat. He gives twice who gives quickly.

2Ch 35:13-14. But the other holy offerings sod they in pots — Those from which the burnt-offerings were removed, (2Ch 35:12,) namely, the peace- offerings, part of which fell to the share of the offerer, who was Josiah, and, by his gift, to the people. Afterward they made ready — To wit, the paschal lambs, and their part of the peace-offerings.

they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance--(See Exo 12:7-9). This mode of preparation was prescribed by the law exclusively for the paschal lamb; the other offerings and thank offerings were cooked in pots, kettles, and pans (Sa1 2:14).

divided them speedily among the people--The haste was either owing to the multiplicity of the priests' business, or because the heat and flavor of the viands would have been otherwise diminished. Hence it appears that the meal consisted not of the paschal lambs alone, but of the meat of the thank offerings--for part of the flesh fell to the portion of the offerer, who, being in this instance, the king and the princes, were by them made over to the people, who were recommended to eat them the day they were offered, though not absolutely forbidden to do so on the next (Lev 7:15-18).

(13) According to the ordinance.—Exo_12:8-9.

Boasted with fire.—Cooked in the fire.

But the other holy offerings sod they . . . pans.—And the consecrated things they cooked in the pots, and in the caldrons, and in the pans.—“The consecrated things” are the oxen (2Ch_29:33). Their flesh was boiled or fried, and handed with all due haste by the Levites to the laity.

The author tells us here not only what was done on the evening of the fourteenth Nisan, the Passover proper, but also during the seven following days of the Feast of Mazzoth, or Unleavened Bread. On the Passover evening only the paschal lambs and kids would be eaten; the oxen were slain as peace offerings during the subsequent festivities (Deu_16:1-8), and furnished forth the sacrificial meals.

And divided them speedily . . . the people.—And brought them quickly to all the sons of the people, so that the meat did not get cold. (Comp. Gen_41:14.) This little touch of realism calls up a picture. We see the whole busy scene, the different groups of the people scattered here and there about the sacred court, and the Levites bringing them their portions of the savoury meat.

Roasted. (For the emphatic and repeated command to roast, Exo_12:8, Exo_12:9; Deu_16:7) Sod. The sodden or boiled offerings, peace offerings, were ordinarily eaten on the days of unleavened bread, and then particularly on the first and seventh. (Lev_23:4-8, etc.) Divided them speedily among all the people. The marginal rendering of the original, and the Revised Version rendering, carried them quickly, may be noted; nevertheless attention is invited, probably not so much to the speed or quickness in question, but to the fact that "all the people" were carefully attended to.
