| II Chronicles 35:11
| And the Phase was immolated: and the priests sprinkled the blood with their hand, and the Levites flayed the holocausts:
| Blood is expressed in the Septuagint and understood in Hebrew. (Haydock) --- With. Hebrew and Septuagint, "from their hands;" (Haydock) receiving it from the officers, who might slay their own victims, (Calmet) unless they were unclean, 2 Paralipomenon 30:17. (Haydock) --- Holocausts. Hebrew and Septuagint speak of the paschal lambs. (Haydock) --- Holocausts were regularly to be flayed by priests, Leviticus 1:6. The hurry of the solemnity, (Calmet) and necessity, here excused the Levites, (Menochius) if we understand proper holocausts. (Haydock)
