This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_29:21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] on the altar of the LORD.
Ver. 21. And they brought seven bullocks and seven rams.] Hezekiah being to dedicate, and, as it were, anew to consecrate the temple by solemn sacrifices, bringeth seven of a sort of all kinds of clean beasts, to denote the community or whole body of the kingdom.
To offer them on the altar of the Lord.] God sanctified the altar, {Exo_29:44} and the altar sanctified the gift. {Mat_23:19} We Christians also have an altar, {Heb_13:10} but not as our late altar-men would have had it, and we believe that our sevenfold manifold sins shall be taken away by that perfect and absolute sacrifice of the Messiah, that Lamb without blemish and without spot. {1Pe_1:19}
