Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Chronicles 35:5

5 And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites .

Or, minister, as that word is frequently used.

i. e. In the Court of the Priests, which is so called elsewhere, as hath been noted before.

i. e. According to the several Families both of the People, whom he calls their Brethren, lest they should despise them or grudge to serve them, and of the Levites. For the Passover was to be eaten by the several Families according to their numbers, Exod. 12. 3. And therefore he commands these persons, that when the Paschal Lambs were brought to them to be killed, as they were, v. 7, 8, 9. they might so order the matter, that they might be distributed to the several Families, whether of the Levitical or other Tribes.
