2 Chronicles 29:32The number of the burnt offerings which the assembly brought was seventy bulls, one hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
The setting
Jerusalem temple courts, 715 BC. Smoke rising from hundreds of altars as priests work frantically to offer the massive influx of sacrificial animals brought by jubilant people.
The emotion here: awestruck chronicler recording unprecedented generosity
The original word
olah (עֹלָה) — burnt offering that goes completely up in smoke, total surrender to God
Why it matters
This was roughly $2 million worth of livestock in today's economy - representing months of family income
