Significance: Numbers 28:16-25 prescribes the complete Passover and Unleavened Bread festival calendar: the fourteenth-day Passover, the seven-day feast of unleavened bread, and the specific burnt offerings (two bulls, one ram, seven lambs) to be presented each day. 2 Chronicles 35:16 reports that at Josiah's Passover, "all the service of the LORD was prepared that day to celebrate the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD." The Chronicler's emphasis on completing all prescribed offerings "according to the command" validates Josiah's reform as a comprehensive return to the Numbers legislation, not merely a symbolic gesture but a full enactment of every sacrificial detail the Torah required.
