29 After that, Hezekiah and the crowd of worshippers knelt down and worshipped the Lord.
30 Then Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to sing the songs of praise that David and Asaph the prophet had written. And so they bowed down and joyfully sang praises to the Lord.
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.
