Generosity Enables Worship

Commentators highlight King Josiah's extraordinary generosity. He provided 30,000 lambs and kids for the Passover offerings and 3,000 bullocks for the associated feasts, all from his personal wealth. Scholars note this liberal gift was likely intended to help poor families who could not otherwise afford to participate in this vital festival.
