Context of 2 Chronicles 35:11
9Likewise, Conaniah along with Shemaiah and Nethaniel, his brothers, and Hashabiah, Jeiel and Jozabad, leaders of the Levites, provided 5,000 Passover lambs for the Levites and 500 bulls. 10So the avodah was prepared and the kohanim stood at their posts with the Levites in their divisions according to the king’s command. They slaughtered the Passover lambs and while the kohanim sprinkled the blood handed to them, the Levites flayed them. 12Then they removed the portions to be burnt to give them to the divisions of ancestral houses of the people to present to Adonai, as it is written in the book of Moses. They did the same with the bulls. 13They roasted the Passover lambs with fire according to the ordinance, then boiled the sacred parts in pots, caldrons and pans, and brought them quickly to all the people.
