Furthermore
This word serves as a continuation of the narrative, indicating that what follows is a result of previous actions. In the context of 2 Chronicles 29, King Hezekiah has initiated a religious reform, restoring the temple and re-establishing proper worship. The Hebrew word used here can be seen as a bridge, connecting the reader to the ongoing revival and renewal of faith among the Israelites. It emphasizes the abundance and overflow of blessings that come when God's people return to Him.

the burnt offerings
Burnt offerings, or "olah" in Hebrew, were a central part of Israelite worship, symbolizing atonement and dedication to God. These offerings were completely consumed by fire, representing the worshiper's total surrender to the Lord. In the context of Hezekiah's reforms, the abundance of burnt offerings signifies a renewed commitment to God and a desire for purification and reconciliation with Him.

were abundant
The abundance of offerings highlights the people's eagerness to return to God and the king's dedication to restoring proper worship. This abundance can be seen as a reflection of God's grace and mercy, as He accepts the people's offerings and blesses them with His presence. Historically, this period marks a significant spiritual revival in Judah, as the nation turns back to God with wholehearted devotion.

along with the fat of the peace offerings
Peace offerings, or "shelamim" in Hebrew, were expressions of thanksgiving and fellowship with God. The fat, considered the best part, was offered to God, symbolizing the offering of the best of oneself to the Lord. This phrase underscores the completeness of the people's worship, as they not only seek atonement but also celebrate their restored relationship with God.

and the drink offerings
Drink offerings, or "nesek" in Hebrew, were poured out as a libation to accompany other sacrifices. They symbolize the pouring out of one's life in service and devotion to God. The inclusion of drink offerings in this verse indicates a holistic approach to worship, where every aspect of life is dedicated to God.

for the burnt offerings
This phrase ties the drink offerings specifically to the burnt offerings, emphasizing the interconnectedness of different types of sacrifices in Israelite worship. It reflects a comprehensive approach to worship, where atonement, thanksgiving, and dedication are all integral parts of the believer's relationship with God.

So the service of the house of the LORD
The "service" refers to the organized worship and rituals conducted in the temple. The "house of the LORD" is the temple in Jerusalem, the central place of worship for the Israelites. This phrase highlights the restoration of proper worship practices, as the temple once again becomes the focal point of the nation's spiritual life.

was established
The Hebrew root for "established" conveys a sense of being firmly set or made secure. This indicates that the reforms initiated by Hezekiah were not temporary but had a lasting impact on the spiritual life of Judah. The establishment of temple service signifies a return to covenant faithfulness and a renewed commitment to living according to God's laws.

(35) And also the burnt offerings were in abundance.--Another reason why the Levites helped the priests: the latter were so much occupied with the actual service of the altar.

The fat of the peace (thank) offerings--which had to be burned upon the burnt offerings (Leviticus 3:5; Leviticus 6:5).

And the drink offerings.--Numbers 15:1-16.

Verse 35. - And the drink offerings for every burnt offering. The "drink offerings" (גֻסָכִים) have not been mentioned before in this chapter. Of these libations of wine and oil, the most particular account is given in Numbers 15:5-10, 24). The first scriptural mention of them occurs in Genesis 35:14; followed by Exodus 29:40, 41; Exodus 30:9; Leviticus 23:13, 18, 37; Numbers 6:15, 17, etc.
