This act of setting aside the burnt offerings underscores the Israelites' commitment to holiness and obedience to God's commands. The burnt offerings, or "olah" in Hebrew, were entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete surrender to God. This practice was a central aspect of worship, emphasizing the need for atonement and dedication.<p><b>to be given to the divisions of the families of the people</b><br />This phrase highlights the organized and communal nature of worship in ancient Israel. The "divisions" refer to the structured groups within the Levitical priesthood and the broader community, ensuring that each family participated in the sacrificial system. This organization reflects the Hebrew concept of "mishmarot," which were the rotating divisions of priests and Levites. It underscores the importance of order and unity in worship, as each family had a role in maintaining the covenant relationship with God.<p><b>to offer to the LORD</b><br />The act of offering to the LORD is central to the sacrificial system, emphasizing the Hebrew word "קרב" (qarab), meaning to draw near. Sacrifices were a means of approaching God, seeking His favor, and maintaining a relationship with Him. This phrase reminds believers of the importance of approaching God with reverence and sincerity, recognizing His holiness and sovereignty.<p><b>as is written in the Book of Moses</b><br />This phrase underscores the authority and foundational role of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, traditionally attributed to Moses. The "Book of Moses" serves as the divine blueprint for worship and conduct, highlighting the importance of Scripture as the ultimate guide for faith and practice. This reference reinforces the continuity of God's covenant and the necessity of adhering to His revealed word.<p><b>and they did the same with the bulls</b><br />The mention of "bulls" signifies the specific type of sacrifice being offered. Bulls were often used in significant offerings due to their value and size, symbolizing strength and wealth. This phrase indicates that the same careful attention and adherence to divine instruction applied to all aspects of the sacrificial system. It reflects the comprehensive nature of worship, where every detail matters in honoring God.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_chronicles/35.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(12) <span class= "bld">They removed.</span>--Cut off those parts of the victims which had to be consumed on the altar of burnt offering.
