So on that day the entire service of the LORD
on 2 Chronicles 35:16-17
The chapter's refrain closes “according to the command of King Josiah”. Verse 17 joins the Passover and the seven days of Unleavened Bread that follow it as one continuous keeping. The whole service, with its divisions, singers, gatekeepers and offerings, is completed “on that day,” before the week-long feast opens.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day,.... With every sacrifice, and for all sorts of persons: to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Lord; which were required to be done on that day: according to the commandment of King Josiah; which was, that every thing be provided, prepared, and done, as the law required.
