title="Chapter summary and Study">Chapter </a></tr></table></div><b>They stood at their prescribed posts</b><br>This phrase indicates the order and structure that was integral to the worship practices in ancient Israel. The priests and Levites had specific roles and responsibilities, as outlined in the Law of Moses. This order reflects the importance of obedience and reverence in worship. The prescribed posts were likely around the altar and in the temple courts, emphasizing the sacredness of their duties. This structure is reminiscent of the order seen in the tabernacle and later in the temple, where each person had a designated role, ensuring that worship was conducted in a manner pleasing to God.<p><b>according to the Law of Moses the man of God</b><br>The reference to the Law of Moses underscores the authority and divine origin of the instructions given to the Israelites. Moses, as the mediator of the Old Covenant, received the law directly from God on Mount Sinai. This law included detailed instructions for worship, sacrifices, and the roles of the priests and Levites. The phrase "the man of God" highlights Moses' unique relationship with God and his role as a prophet and leader. This adherence to the law signifies the importance of following God's commands precisely, as seen in other scriptures such as <a href="/deuteronomy/4-2.htm">Deuteronomy 4:2</a> and <a href="/joshua/1-7.htm">Joshua 1:7-8</a>.<p><b>The priests splattered the blood</b><br>The act of splattering the blood was a crucial part of the sacrificial system. Blood was seen as the life force, and its use in sacrifices symbolized atonement and purification. The priests, as mediators between God and the people, performed this act to cleanse and consecrate the altar and the people. This practice foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the atonement of sins, as described in <a href="/hebrews/9-22.htm">Hebrews 9:22 and 1</a> <a href="/john/1-7.htm">John 1:7</a>. The splattering of blood also connects to the Passover, where the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites from the angel of death (<a href="/exodus/12-7.htm">Exodus 12:7</a>).<p><b>which they received from the hand of the Levites</b><br>The Levites played a supportive role in the sacrificial system, assisting the priests by preparing the sacrifices and handling the blood. This division of labor highlights the collaborative nature of worship and the importance of each group fulfilling their God-given roles. The Levites' involvement ensured that the priests could focus on their primary duties of offering sacrifices and interceding for the people. This cooperation is a model for the body of Christ, where each member has a unique function, as described in <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>. The Levites' role also emphasizes the theme of service and dedication to God's work.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hezekiah.htm">Hezekiah</a></b><br>The king of Judah who initiated the Passover celebration, seeking to restore proper worship and adherence to God's laws.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/p/priests_and_levites.htm">Priests and Levites</a></b><br>Religious leaders responsible for conducting the sacrifices and rituals according to the Law of Moses.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/passover.htm">Passover</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt, which Hezekiah sought to reinstate.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central place of worship where the Passover was celebrated.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/l/law_of_moses.htm">Law of Moses</a></b><br>The commandments and instructions given by God to Moses, which included detailed regulations for worship and sacrifices.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/restoration_of_worship.htm">Restoration of Worship</a></b><br>Hezekiah's actions demonstrate the importance of returning to God's prescribed ways of worship, emphasizing obedience to His commands.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/role_of_leadership.htm">Role of Leadership</a></b><br>The priests and Levites exemplify the responsibility of spiritual leaders to guide and facilitate proper worship, serving as intermediaries between God and the people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/significance_of_blood.htm">Significance of Blood</a></b><br>The sprinkling of blood signifies purification and atonement, pointing to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose blood cleanses us from sin.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/unity_in_worship.htm">Unity in Worship</a></b><br>The gathering of the people for Passover underlines the communal aspect of worship, encouraging believers to come together in unity to honor God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/f/faithfulness_to_scripture.htm">Faithfulness to Scripture</a></b><br>Adhering to the Law of Moses reflects a commitment to Scripture, urging believers to ground their faith and practices in the Word of God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_2_chronicles_30.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 2 Chronicles 30</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_1_chr_16_and_2_sam_6_differ.htm">Why does 1 Chronicles 16 differ from 2 Samuel 6 in describing the Ark's journey and the people's offerings?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/2_chr_29_3-5__quick_temple_restoration.htm">2 Chronicles 29:3-5 - How plausible is it that the priests and Levites restored the temple so quickly without any record of detailed construction or supply logistics?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_1_chronicles_16_37-42_historical_or_idealized.htm">Did David's elaborate worship in 1 Chronicles 16:37-42 actually occur, or is it an idealized account with no historical basis?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_2_chr_35_18_ignore_hezekiah's_passover.htm">In 2 Chronicles 35:18, why does the text claim no Passover like Josiah's had been celebrated 'since the days of Samuel,' seemingly ignoring the grand Passover of Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 30?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/30.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(16) <span class= "bld">In their place.</span>--'<span class= "ital">Omd?m.</span> This word is used in this sense only in Daniel, Chronicles, Nehemiah.
