2. Krønikebok 29,34

32 Forsamlingen brakte sytti okser, hundre værer og to hundre lam som brennoffer; alle disse var for et brennoffer til Herren.

33 Og de ofrene som var satt til side var seks hundre okser og tre tusen sauer.

Men prestene var for få, slik at de ikke kunne flå alle brennofferne; derfor hjalp deres brødre levittene dem til arbeidet var fullført og til prestene hadde innviet seg. For levittene var mer samvittighetsfulle i å innvie seg enn prestene.

35 Det var også mange brennoffer med fettet fra fredsofferne og med drikkofrene for brennofferne. Slik ble tjenesten i Herrens hus gjenopprettet.

36 Da gledet Hiskia og hele folket seg over det Gud hadde forberedt for folket, fordi det skjedde så plutselig.

Her forteller Bibelen en historie om noen andre. Spør deg selv hva den kan si oss i dag. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
