35:1 Celebrating the messenger’s ‘passing-over’

Southern kingdom

(2 Kgs 23:21-23)

35Then King Yoshiyah prepared a ‘pass-over’ celebration in Yerushalem, and they slaughtered the lambs at the end of March. 2He assigned the priests to the various tasks that needed to be done, and encouraged them to do their work well. 3He told the Levites (they’d been separated from the other tribes in order to serve Yahweh) who were teaching all of Yisrael, “Place the sacred box in the house that was built by David’s son, Yisrael’s King Shelomoh (Solomon)—it won’t be a burden any more for your shoulders. Now serve your god Yahweh and his Israeli people, 4and prepare yourselves in your clan divisions as per the instructions written by Yisrael’s King David and his son Shelomoh.[ref] 5Then stand in the temple area, grouped by your clans and ready to help the other tribes. 6Consecrate yourselves and slaughter the ‘pass-over’ lambs for the people as per the instructions given through Mosheh (Moses) by Yahweh.

7King Yoshiyah provided thirty thousand lambs and young goats from his own flocks for the ‘pass-over’ sacrifices, and three thousand bulls from his own herds. 8His officials also contributed for the benefit of the people, priests, and Levites. The chief temple officials Hilkiyah, Zekaryah, and Yehiel donated 2,600 lambs and three hundred cattle to the priests. 9The Levite leaders Konanyah and his younger brothers Shemayah and Netanel, along with Hashavyah, Yeiel, and Yozavad, together contributed five thousand lambs and three hundred bulls.

10So everything was prepared as the king had commanded, and the priests stood at their places, and the Levites were there in their various divisions, 11and they slaughtered the ‘pass-over’ lambs, then the priests sprinkled the blood while the Levites skinned the animals. 12They set aside the animals to be burnt on the altar, in order to give them to the various family groups to offer to Yahweh, following the instructions Mosheh had written down. They did the same thing with the cattle. 13They roasted the ‘pass-over’ meal over the fire as per the instructions, and they boiled the meat of the sacred offerings in pots and kettles and pans, and served the meat immediately to all the people who were there.[ref] 14Afterwards, the Levites prepared the meal for themselves and for the priests (Aharon’s descendants), because the priests had been busy sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fat portions right through to the evening. 15The singers (Asaf’s descendants) were at their posts, as they’d been commanded by King David, Asaf, Heyman, and the king’s prophet Yedutun. The men guarding the gates didn’t have to leave their posts, because their fellow Levites prepared food for them.[ref]

16So on that day, everything that needed to be done for worshipping Yahweh was done. They celebrated the ‘pass-over’ festival, and they sacrificed burnt offerings as King Yoshiyah had commanded. 17The Israelis who were there celebrated the ‘pass-over’ that day, then they celebrated the ‘Festival of Flat Bread’ for seven days.[ref] 18There hadn’t been a ‘pass-over’ celebration done like that in Yisrael since the time of the prophet Shemuel (Samuel), and none of Yisrael’s kings had ever done it like Yoshiyah did, along with the priests and Levites and the people from Yerushalem and all of Yehudah and Yisrael. 19They celebrated that festival in the eighteenth year of Yoshiyah’s reign.

Prophets of the Old Testament before 800 B.C.

If you ask someone today what biblical prophets did, they will likely tell you that they divinely foretold of future events. While this was often the case, most prophets in the Bible focused as much on “forthtelling” God’s messages as they did on “foretelling” the future. That is, their primary role was to simply “forthtell” divinely acquired messages to leaders and groups of people, and at times that included foretelling of coming judgment, blessing, rescue, etc. Also, though plenty of prophets (sometimes called “seers” in Scripture) often spoke in confrontational or eccentric language that put them at odds with kings and religious leaders, the biblical writers also applied the term prophet to people who communicated God’s messages in ways that many readers today might not think of as prophecy, such as worship leaders appointed by David to “prophesy with lyres, harps, and cymbals” (1 Chronicles 25:1). Similarly, the books of Joshua, Judges, 1 & 2 Samuel, and 1 & 2 Kings are typically categorized as history by Christians, but in the Hebrew canon they belong to the category of Former Prophets. The Lord raised up prophets throughout all of biblical history, from the giving of the law under Moses to the revelation of the last days by the apostle John, and the kings of Israel and Judah often recognized and supported specific people as official prophets of the royal court and consulted them to find out God’s perspective about official matters. Following is a list of nearly everyone designated as prophet or seer in the Old Testament and the primary area of their ministry.
