31. Hezekiah said to the crowd, “Now that you are once again acceptable to the Lord, bring sacrifices and offerings to give him thanks.”The people did this, and some of them voluntarily brought animals to be offered as sacrifices.
32. Seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs were brought as sacrifices to please the Lord;
33. six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep were brought as sacrifices to ask the Lord's blessing.
34. There were not enough priests to skin all these animals, because many of the priests had not taken the time to go through the ceremony to make themselves clean. However, since all the Levites had made themselves clean, they helped the priests until the last animal was skinned.
35. Besides all the sacrifices that were burnt on the altar, the fat from the other animal sacrifices was burnt, and the offerings of wine were poured over the altar.So the temple was once again used for worshipping the Lord.
36. Hezekiah and the people of Judah celebrated, because God had helped them make this happen so quickly.
