Then Hezekiah said, "^(C1)Now that you have ^(F1)consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come forward and bring sacrifices and thanksgiving offerings to the house of the LORD." So the assembly brought sacrifices and thanksgiving offerings, and ^(C2)everyone who was ^(F2)willing brought burnt offerings.

The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all of these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.

The consecrated offerings were six hundred bulls and three thousand sheep.

But the priests were too few, so that they were unable to skin all the burnt offerings; ^(C1)therefore their brothers the Levites helped them until the work was finished and the other priests had consecrated themselves. For ^(C2)the Levites were more ^(F1)conscientious to consecrate themselves than the priests.

There were also ^(F1)(C1)many burnt offerings with ^(C2)the fat of the peace offerings and ^(C3)the drink offerings for the burnt offerings. So the service of the house of the LORD was established again.
