Both Kings and Chronicles use terms of hyperbole to describe that celebration, again, however, with significant differences between them:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 Chr. 35:18<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the time of the prophet Samuel, no Passover like that one had ever been kept in Israel; none of the kings of Israel had kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel there present and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 Kings 23:22<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the passover sacrifice had not been offered in that manner in the days of the chieftains who ruled Israel, or during the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kings marks the earlier celebration at \u201cthe days of the chieftains\u201d (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shof\u2019tim<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), while Chronicles marks it at \u201cthe time of the prophet Samuel.\u201d I have no great insight into this distinction, other than to suggest that Samuel may have occupied a particular place of importance in the hierarchy of the Chronicler due to his having anointed King David.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kings emphasizes its (relative) neglect throughout the era of both \u201cthe kings of Israel and the kings of Judah,\u201d while Chronicles notes only that \u201cnone of the kings of Israel\u201d kept it as such.

Tabernacles). With all of these celebrations, it is interesting that the Chronicler adds this line to Josiah\u2019s celebration:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the time of the prophet Samuel, no Passover like that one had ever been kept in Israel; none of the kings of Israel had kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel there present and the inhabitants of Jerusalem\u201d (verse 18).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We just read two chapters ago about Hezekiah\u2019s Passover as a national renewal holiday. Why is this description added here then? Rashi initially explains that since the separation of the two kingdoms, there had not been this type of unified celebration. Over the intervening years, the northern tribes would sacrifice at the golden calves. Now, following the expulsion of the northern tribes, the remnant of the kingdom of Israel travel to Judah. This allows for the first unified celebration. But Rashi is not happy with this answer as it neglects the time period of David and Solomon. In the end, he reconciles this problem by explaining that the unique dimension here was not the unity of the nation, but the fact that Josiah was able to provide paschal lambs to each person who needed it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malbim explains that the difference here was that the personal <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>bamot<\/em> <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">altars were finally removed from everyone\u2019s home. In the past, people sacrificed their paschal lambs on the <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bamot<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and now they all traveled to Jerusalem.\u00a0 Malbim also includes the fact that the northern tribes now joined with Judah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Radak explains that the unique aspect here was that everyone was committed to sacrificing to God. In Hezekiah\u2019s time, many people in the north mocked his messengers. The text also explained that at the time of Hezekiah, many of the northerners were impure. During Josiah\u2019s time everyone was pure.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the answer is actually more of a big picture idea. With their fate sealed, Josiah is still able to gather the people together for one large Passover ceremony. This verse is not meant to compare this Passover celebration to the ones before, but it is more about \u201cthe bookends.\u201d Even with doom approaching, the people are able to celebrate the liberation holiday just as they did at the start of their journey in the land of Israel way back when, at the time of Samuel and the beginning of the monarchical period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":97540,"alt":"","title":"est9-question

The uniqueness and excellence of this particular Passover celebration is commemorated in v. 18:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the time of the prophet Samuel, no Passover like that one had ever been kept in Israel; none of the kings of Israel had kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all Judah and Israel there present and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashi expresses his surprise at the comment, since it implies that even during the reigns of Kings like David and Solomon, who followed Samuel, and ruled during periods when the Isaelites lived in their own land, and were not occupied by others, there was no comparable celebration of the Passover holiday. He suggests that the emphasis should not be placed upon whether Passover was observed, but rather how it was commemorated and who made it possible. II Chronicles 35 maintains that Josiah, his ministers, and officers, all donated significant numbers of animals in order that every member of the Jewish nation could sacrifice, irrespective of their personal economic standing:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Josiah donated to the people small cattle\u2014lambs and goats, all for Passover sacrifices for all present\u2014to the sum of 30,000, and large cattle, 3,000\u2014these from the property of the king. His officers gave a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the chiefs of the House of God, donated to the priests for Passover sacrifices 2,600 [small cattle] and 300 large cattle. Conaniah, Shemaiah, and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, officers of the Levites, donated 5,000 [small cattle] and 500 large cattle to the Levites for Passover sacrifices.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the reader is left with a conundrum.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whereas prior to Josiah\u2019s 18<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> year as king, it is suggested that Passover was celebrated only by those who could afford the considerable number of livestock required for sacrifices, with everyone else \u201cinvited\u201d to partake in the festive meal, what happened subsequently? Could the people annually count on being subsidized by their leadership? Was the extraordinary Passover recorded in this chapter a \u201cone off\u201d?\u00a0 We can guess, but hardly know for sure.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":101182,"alt":"","title":"-61f8146e69b78--61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep flock.jpg","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg.jpg","width":1920,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1280,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-1200x800.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":800,"home_baner":"https:\/\/cetwpuploads.blob.core.windows.net\/wp929\/uploads\/2022\/01\/61f8146e69b78-61f8146e69b792chron35-sheep-flock.jpg-630x420.jpg","home_baner-width":630,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"All In","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Royalty made the people\u2019s celebration possible with their generosity -
