Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for the passover-offerings five thousand [small cattle], and five hundred oxen.

Corroborating evidence is found in “…and three thousand bullocks” [II Chronicles 35: 7] after Scripture had already stated “…and for the paschal offerings,” [ibid.] regarding the lambs and kids. Moreover, “five thousand” animals for paschal offerings, in addition to “five hundred oxen” [II Chronicles 35: 9], were given to the Levites. Here, too, Scripture first mentions the paschal offering, before mentioning the cattle. Compare, “you, and your household” [14: 26].
