Exegesis
The phrase al-penei hakkvarim {עַל־פְּנֵי הַקְּבָרִים | ʿal-pənē hakkəvārīm} ‘upon the face of the graves’ serves as a ritual defilement, with hazovchim {הַזֹּבְחִים | hazōvēḥîm} ‘those sacrificing’ marking the sacrificial participants.
In context — 2 Chronicles 34:4
And they tore down the altars of the Baals before him, cut down the incense altars that were above them, and broke in pieces the Asherah poles, the carved images, and the cast images, grinding them to dust; then they scattered the dust over the graves of the sacrificers .
