35:1 Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the {a} passover on the fourteenth [day] of the first month.
(a) The scripture in various places calls the lamb the passover even though it is only the sign of the passover for in all sacraments the signs have the names of the things signified.
35:1-19 The destruction Josiah made of idolatry, was more largely related in the book of Kings. His solemnizing the passover is related here. The Lord's supper resembles the passover more than any other of the Jewish festivals; and the due observance of that ordinance, is a proof of growing piety and devotion. God alone can truly make our hearts holy, and prepare them for his holy services; but there are duties belonging to us, in doing which we obtain this blessing from the Lord.
