Context — Hezekiah Restores Temple Worship
20Early the next morning King Hezekiah gathered the city officials and went up to the house of the LORD.
21They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven male goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And the king commanded the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
22So they slaughtered the bulls, and the priests took the blood and splattered it on the altar. They slaughtered the rams and splattered the blood on the altar. And they slaughtered the lambs and splattered the blood on the altar.
23Then they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, who laid their hands on them. 24And the priests slaughtered the goats and put their blood on the altar for a sin offering, to make atonement for all Israel, because the king had ordered the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.Cross References

Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 29:22
So they killed the bullocks,.... The seven bullocks, that is, the priests killed them: and the priests received the blood; into basins provided for that purpose: and sprinkled it on the altar;
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 29:22
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:22
2 Chronicles 29:22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.Ver. 22. They sprinkled the blood upon the altar.] Whereby was typified the application of Christ’ s precious blood purging the conscience from dead works, appeasing God’ s wrath, purchasing the Church, ratifying the covenant, opening the Holy of Holies, and giving entrance.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 29:22
(22) Received the blood.—Caught it in bowls of sprinkling (Numbers 8:14). And sprinkled it on the altar.—Threw it against (literally, towards) the altar (Leviticus 8:19; Leviticus 8:24). Likewise, when.—And they slaughtered the rams . . . and they slaughtered the lambs. The three clauses of the verse are symmetrical. The repetition is a mark of the writer’s anxiety to show how carefully the legitimate ritual was observed in each instance. Killed.—Slaughtered (shahat; óöÜæù, Genesis 37:31). Specially used of slaying sacrificial victims (Leviticus 1:5).
Cambridge Bible on 2 Chronicles 29:22
22. received the blood] In basins with which they dashed (not “sprinkled”) the blood against the altar. This dashing was different from the sprinkling with the finger.
