Pag-aaralĐem hòm thánh về — Hòm thánh có lẽ đã ở bên ngoài đền thờ, nên những người Lê-vi vẫn đang khiêng nó. Giô-si-a bảo họ hãy đặt nó lại trong ngôi nhà mà Sa-lô-môn đã xây. Nơi an nghỉ thích hợp của hòm thánh là ở nơi thánh, chứ không phải trên vai họ.He told the Levites, who instructed all Israel about things consecrated to the Lord, “Place the holy ark in the temple which King Solomon son of David of Israel built. Don’t carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel!
Prepare yourselves by your families according to your divisions, as instructed by King David of Israel and his son Solomon.
Stand in the sanctuary and, together with the Levites, represent the family divisions of your countrymen.
Slaughter the Passover lambs, consecrate yourselves, and make preparations for your countrymen to do what the Lord commanded through Moses.”
From his own royal flocks and herds, Josiah supplied the people with 30,000 lambs and goats for the Passover sacrifice, as well as 3,000 cattle.
His officials also willingly contributed to the people, priests, and Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, the leaders of God’s temple, supplied 2,600 Passover sacrifices and 300 cattle.
Konaniah and his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, along with Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, the officials of the Levites, supplied the Levites with 5,000 Passover sacrifices and 500 cattle.
Preparations were made, and the priests stood at their posts and the Levites in their divisions as prescribed by the king.
They slaughtered the Passover lambs and the priests splashed the blood, while the Levites skinned the animals.
They reserved the burnt offerings and the cattle for the family divisions of the people to present to the Lord, as prescribed in the scroll of Moses.
Pag-aaralQuay thịt thay vì luộc — Chiên con cho lễ Vượt qua được quay bằng lửa, theo như Xuất Ê-díp-tô Ký 12:9. Các lễ vật thánh khác thì được nấu trong các nồi, vạc và chảo để có thể phân phát nhanh chóng. Điều này giúp giữ cho bữa ăn lễ Vượt qua khác biệt với các thức ăn thánh khác.(EXO 12:9)They cooked the Passover sacrifices over the open fire as prescribed and cooked the consecrated offerings in pots, kettles, and pans. They quickly served them to all the people.
Afterward they made preparations for themselves and for the priests, because the priests, the descendants of Aaron, were offering burnt sacrifices and fat portions until evening. The Levites made preparations for themselves and for the priests, the descendants of Aaron.
The musicians, the descendants of Asaph, manned their posts, as prescribed by David, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun the king’s prophet. The guards at the various gates did not need to leave their posts, for their fellow Levites made preparations for them.
So all the preparations for the Lord’s service were made that day, as the Passover was observed and the burnt sacrifices were offered on the altar of the Lord, as prescribed by King Josiah.
So the Israelites who were present observed the Passover at that time, as well as the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days.
Pag-aaralMột lễ Vượt qua vô song — Không có vị vua nào của Y-sơ-ra-ên từng giữ lễ Vượt qua một cách chu đáo như Giô-si-a đã làm—với các thầy tế lễ, người Lê-vi và toàn dân đều ở đúng vị trí quy định của họ. Ngay cả lễ Vượt qua trước đó của Hê-xê-kia cũng bị vượt qua bởi lễ kỷ niệm toàn quốc này.(2CH 30:26)A Passover like this had not been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had observed a Passover like the one celebrated by Josiah, the priests, the Levites, all the people of Judah and Israel who were there, and the residents of Jerusalem.
Pag-aaralCùng năm với Sách Luật pháp — Lễ Vượt qua này diễn ra vào năm thứ mười tám—cùng năm mà những thợ của Giô-si-a tìm thấy Sách Luật pháp và giao ước được đổi mới. Các cuộc cải cách thờ phượng của ông xuất phát trực tiếp từ Kinh Thánh được tìm lại.(2CH 34:8)This Passover was observed in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign.
After Josiah had done all this for the temple, King Necho of Egypt marched up to do battle at Carchemish on the Euphrates River. Josiah marched out to oppose him.
Necho sent messengers to him, saying, “Why are you opposing me, O king of Judah? I am not attacking you today, but the kingdom with which I am at war. God told me to hurry. Stop opposing God, who is with me, or else he will destroy you.”
Pag-aaralLời cảnh cáo từ Đức Chúa Trời — Những lời của Nê-cô là đến "từ miệng Đức Chúa Trời", thế mà Giô-si-a lại phớt lờ và cải trang thành người khác—giống như A-háp tại Rê-mốt-Ga-lát. Lòng nhiệt thành trung tín nhưng thiếu sự phân định đã dẫn đến cái chết của ông tại Mê-ghi-đô.(1KI 22:30)But Josiah did not turn back from him; he disguised himself for battle. He did not take seriously the words of Necho which he had received from God; he went to fight him in the Plain of Megiddo.
Archers shot King Josiah; the king ordered his servants, “Take me out of this chariot, for I am seriously wounded.”
So his servants took him out of the chariot, put him in another chariot that he owned, and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors; all the people of Judah and Jerusalem mourned Josiah.
Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah which all the male and female singers use to mourn Josiah to this very day. It has become customary in Israel to sing these; they are recorded in the Book of Laments.
The rest of the events of Josiah’s reign, including the faithful acts he did in obedience to what is written in the law of the Lord
