| II Chronicles 35:8
| And his princes willingly offered what they had vowed, both to the people, and to the priests and the Levites. Moreover, Helcias, and Zacharias, and Jahiel, rulers of the house of the Lord, gave to the priests to keep the Phase, two thousand six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
| Offered. Hebrew, "gave to the people." (Haydock) --- Rulers: the first alone was high priest. (Calmet) --- Small cattle: literally, cattle of different sorts;" commixtim. Protestants supply, "small cattle," which is not now in Hebrew. (Haydock) --- Syriac and Arabic have, "sheep;" but we had best follow (Calmet) the Septuagint, "sheep, both lambs and kids." Either would suffice, Exodus 12:5.
