📚 Historical Context
During the reign of King Josiah in ancient Judah around the 7th century BC, he discovered the Book of the Law in the temple, which prompted widespread religious reforms to restore true worship of God. This included reinstating the Passover celebration, which had not been observed properly for generations, as the people had fallen into idolatry and neglect of God's commands. In 2 Chronicles 35:16, we see the successful preparation of all the required services and offerings on that day, carried out under Josiah's leadership to fulfill the Law.
