(14) Afterward.--After serving the laity with their passover.

They made ready.--The Passover (Luke 22:8-9; Luke 22:13).

Because the priests . . . until night.--The reason why the Levites prepared the Passover and the after meals for them.

In offering of burnt offerings and the fat.--In offering the burnt offering and the pieces of fat. The second phrase seems to define the first (and, i.e., namely).
