35:6 So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and {d} prepare your brethren, that [they] may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
(d) Exhort everyone to examine themselves to ensure that they are not unfit to eat the passover.
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.
