This site's exposition

Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the Lord

on 2 Chronicles 29:31-33

Hezekiah's invitation, come near and bring sacrifices, moves the day from atonement to fellowship, and the response is voluntary: as many as were of a free heart brought burnt offerings, the same free heart language that describes the giving for the temple's building at 1 Chr 29:9. Gill notes the totals, seventy bullocks and six hundred oxen among them, run smaller than David and Solomon's dedication offerings, the nation poorer after Ahaz's reign and the gift coming from two tribes rather than the whole kingdom David once ruled. The size of the offering matters less to the chapter than its shape, obligation in the morning and free giving by the afternoon.
