They removed the burnt offerings - They separated from the Paschal lambs those parts which were to be burned on the altar. These parts they gave to the offerers, who took them up to the altar and handed them to the officiating priests.
This site's exposition
as is written in the Book of Moses
on 2 Chronicles 35:12-14
The Passover animals are roasted “according to the regulation,” while the other holy offerings are boiled in pots and quickly brought to the people. The priests are busy with burnt offerings and fat until nightfall, so the Levites prepare for the priests as well as for themselves.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
To offer - These words may belong 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, and then to give to the people; though the giving be here mentioned before the offering, such transpositions being usual in scripture.
And they removed the burnt offerings,....
