8. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel (the chief officials of the temple) gave to the priests for the Passover twenty-six hundred sheep and three hundred calves.

9. Jeconiah, Shemaiah and his brother Nethanel, Hashabiah, Ochiel, and Joram, military commanders, gave to the Levites five thousand sheep and seven hundred calves for the Passover.

10. This is what happened. Early in the morning the priests and Levites,

12. and by their inherited groups. They brought the offerings to the Lord according to the scroll from Moses.
