New Testament

2 Chronicles 29:28-36 New Century Version (NCV)

28. All the people worshiped, the singers sang, and the trumpeters blew their trumpets until the burnt offering was finished.

29. When the sacrifices were completed, King Hezekiah and everyone with him bowed down and worshiped.

30. King Hezekiah and his officers ordered the Levites to praise the Lord, using the words David and Asaph the seer had used. So they praised God with joy and bowed down and worshiped.

31. Then Hezekiah said, “Now that you people of Judah have given yourselves to the Lord, come near to the Temple of the Lord. Bring sacrifices and offerings, to show thanks to him.” So the people brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and anyone who was willing also brought burnt offerings.

32. For burnt offerings they brought a total of seventy bulls, one hundred male sheep, and two hundred lambs; all these animals were sacrificed as burnt offerings to the Lord.

33. The holy offerings totaled six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep and goats.

34. There were not enough priests to skin all the animals for the burnt offerings. So their relatives the Levites helped them until the work was finished and other priests could be made holy. The Levites had been more careful to make themselves holy for the Lord’s service than the priests.

35. There were many burnt offerings along with the fat of fellowship offerings and drink offerings. So the service in the Temple of the Lord began again.

36. And Hezekiah and the people were very happy that God had made it happen so quickly for his people.
