Allusion

Later text

2 Chronicles 35:16BSB

So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah.

Earlier text

Numbers 28:16BSB

The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD's Passover.

Significance

Numbers 28:16 legislates the Passover date: "The fourteenth day of the first month is the LORD's Passover." 2 Chronicles 35:16 confirms Josiah's celebration conformed to this law: "So on that day the entire service of the LORD was carried out for celebrating the Passover and offering burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josiah." The Chronicler validates Josiah's Passover by its conformity to the Mosaic calendar and ritual prescriptions. The reference to doing everything "according to the command" (כְּמִצְוַת, kemitsvat) emphasizes that proper worship requires adherence to the specific Pentateuchal regulations, including the exact timing prescribed in Numbers 28.
