2 Chronicles 35:6-14

6Now 1slaughter the Passover animals, 2keep one another consecrated, and prepare for your countrymen to act in accordance with the word of the Lord by Moses.”

7Josiah contributed to the lay people, to all who were present, flocks of lambs and young goats, all for the Passover offerings, numbering thirty thousand, plus three thousand bulls; these were from the king’s property. 8His officers also contributed a 3voluntary offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, 4the officials of the house of God, gave the priests 2,600 from the flocks and three hundred bulls, for the Passover offerings. 95Conaniah also, and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the officers of the Levites, contributed five thousand from the flocks and five hundred bulls to the Levites for the Passover offerings.

10So the service was prepared, and 6the priests stood at their positions and the Levites by their divisions according to the king’s command. 1178They slaughtered the Passover animals, and while 9the priests 10sprinkled the blood received from their hand, 11the Levites skinned the animals. 12Then they removed the burnt offerings so that they might give them to the sections of the fathers’ households of the lay people to present to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. They did this with the bulls as well. 13So 12they roasted the Passover animals on the fire according to the ordinance, and they boiled 13the holy things in pots, in kettles, and in pans and carried them quickly to all the lay people. 14Afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the sons of Aaron, were offering the burnt offerings and the fat until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests, the sons of Aaron.
