Explanation preview

Hezekiah's reform has brought a mixed crowd to Jerusalem for a delayed Passover, including many from the northern tribes who were not properly purified. This verse describes the temple service itself: priests and Levites take their assigned positions and follow the order set out in the Law of Moses, with the Levites handling the slaughter and passing the blood to the priests, who sprinkle it.
