וַיֹּאמֶר לַלְוִיִּם (המבונים) [הַמְּבִינִים] לְכׇל־יִשְׂרָאֵל הַקְּדוֹשִׁים לַיהֹוָה תְּנוּ אֶת־אֲרוֹן־הַקֹּדֶשׁ בַּבַּיִת אֲשֶׁר בָּנָה שְׁלֹמֹה בֶן־דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֵין־לָכֶם מַשָּׂא בַּכָּתֵף עַתָּה עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם וְאֵת עַמּוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
and he said to the Levites who taught all Yisra᾽el, who were holy to the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Shelomo the son of David king of Yisra᾽el did build; you need no longer carry it upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Yisra᾽el,
and he said to the Levites who taught all Yisra᾽el, who were holy to the Lord, Put the holy ark in the house which Shelomo the son of David king of Yisra᾽el did build; you need no longer carry it upon your shoulders: serve now the Lord your God, and his people Yisra᾽el,
Rashi
אין לכם משא בכתף. זו טענה אחרת היא ותחילת מלה הוא שאמר להם אין לכם שום טורח משא בכתף מכל כלי בית ה' שתוכלו לומר משום טורח משא בכתף אין אנו יכולין לעבוד את ה' ועמו לפיכך מעתה עבדו את ה' אלהיכם בשיר ואת עמו ישראל לשחוט ולהפשיט פסחיהן כדמוכח למטה ושחטו הפסח והתקדשו וגו':
you have no burden on the shoulders This is another argument and the beginning of a statement. He said to them. You have no more toil of carrying a burden on your shoulders, i.e., all the vessels of the House of the Lord. You can no longer say, “Because of the toil of the burdens on our shoulders, we cannot serve the Lord and His people.” Therefore, from now on, serve the Lord your God with song and His people Israel by slaughtering and flaying their Passover sacrifices, as is proven below (verse 6): “And slaughter the Passover sacrifice and prepare yourselves, etc.”
(והכונו) [וְהָכִינוּ] לְבֵית־אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם כְּמַחְלְקוֹתֵיכֶם בִּכְתָב דָּוִיד מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְמִכְתַּב שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֽוֹ׃
and prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, according to your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Yisra᾽el, and according to the writing of Shelomo his son.
and prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, according to your divisions, according to the writing of David king of Yisra᾽el, and according to the writing of Shelomo his son.
וְעִמְדוּ בַקֹּדֶשׁ לִפְלוּגֹּת בֵּית הָאָבוֹת לַאֲחֵיכֶם בְּנֵי הָעָם וַחֲלֻקַּת בֵּֽית־אָב לַלְוִיִּֽם׃
And stand in the holy place according to the sections of the families of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the people, and according to the division of the families of the Levites.
And stand in the holy place according to the sections of the families of the fathers’ houses of your brethren the people, and according to the division of the families of the Levites.
Rashi
לפלגות. למחלוקת לעשות הפסח כהלכתו כדבר ה' ביד משה:
according to the divisions in divisions to make the Passover sacrifice according to its law, according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
וְשַׁחֲטוּ הַפָּסַח וְהִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ וְהָכִינוּ לַאֲחֵיכֶם לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּדְבַר־יְהֹוָה בְּיַד־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ {פ}
So kill the paschal lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moshe.
So kill the paschal lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moshe.
תנו את ארון הקודש. לפי פשוטו שהעבירו מנשה ואמון את הארון וישימו תחתיו פסיליהם כדמוכח לעיל (ב' ל"ג) במנשה וישם פסל הסמל וגו' לפיכך צוה יאשיהו להושיבו וליתן הארון במקומו אשר בנה שלמה ורבותינו אמרו שאמר ללוים לגונזו שם:
Place the Holy Ark According to its simple meaning, [they were to return it to its place] because Manasseh and Amon had removed the Holy Ark and placed their graven images in its place, as is proven above (33:7) concerning Manasseh: “And he placed the graven image of the idol, etc.” Therefore, Josiah commanded to return it and to place the Ark in the place that Solomon had built for it, but our Rabbis said (Yoma 42b) that he commanded the Levites to hide it there.
