2 Chronicles 13:9

2 Chronicles 26:18

26:18 They confronted ³  King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not proper for you, Uzziah, to offer incense to the Lord. That is the responsibility of the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who are consecrated to offer incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have disobeyed ⁴  and the Lord God will not honor you!”

2 Chronicles 29:21

29:21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, the sanctuary, and Judah. ⁵  The king ⁶  told the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer burnt sacrifices on the altar of the Lord.

2 Chronicles 31:19

31:19 As for the descendants of Aaron, the priests who lived in the outskirts of all their cities, ⁷  men were assigned ⁸  to disburse portions to every male among the priests and to every Levite listed in the genealogical records.

[13:9]  ¹ tn In the Hebrew text this is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Did you not banish?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course you did,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “But you banished.”

[13:9]  ² tn Heb “whoever comes to fill his hand with a bull of a son of cattle, and seven rams, and he is a priest to no-gods.”

[26:18]  ³ tn Heb “stood against.”

[26:18]  ⁴ tn Or “been unfaithful.”

[29:21]  ⁵ sn Perhaps these terms refer metonymically to the royal court, the priests and Levites, and the people, respectively.

[29:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[31:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “the priests in the fields of the pastureland of their cities in every city and city.”

[31:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “designated by names.”
