6. So kill the passover, &c.Thedesign of the minute directions given here was to facilitate thedistribution of the paschal lambs. These were to be eaten by therespective families according to their numbers (Ex12:3). But multitudes of the people, especially those fromIsrael, having been reduced to poverty through the Assyriandevastations, were to be provided with the means of commemorating thepassover. Therefore, the king enjoined the Levites that when thepaschal lambs were brought to them to be killed (2Ch35:7-9) they should take care to have everything put in soorderly a train, that the lambs, after due presentation, might beeasily delivered to the various families to be roasted and eaten bythemselves apart.

So kill the passover,…. In the manner, time, and place, and for the persons it should be killed:
and sanctify yourselves: by washing themselves and garments, that they might be fit for this service:
and prepare your brethren; prepare a lamb for your brethren, or instruct them how to perform their office that needed instruction:
that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses; celebrate the ordinance of the passover in all its rites, according to the law of Moses, at least in every rite in which they were more peculiarly concerned.

Ver. 6. Sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren. ] Not by auricular confession, or the like; but by holy exhortations, to cast away the idols of their hearts, and to come to the sacrament with the best preparation they can make. The Sybarites, when they invited to a feast, gave their women a year’s warning to deck, and trim, and prepare themselves. Should not people long before prepare, when to come to the Lord’s table?
