Exegesis
The Hiphil perfect herimu {הֵרִימוּ | hē-rî-mû} governs three coordinated indirect objects: la‘am {לָעָם | lā-‘ām} ‘to the people’, lakohanim {לַּכֹּהֲנִים | la-ko-hă-nîm} ‘to the priests’, and veliviyim {וְלַלְוִיִּים | wə-la-lə-vî-yîm} ‘and to the Levites’.
In context — 2 Chronicles 35:8
And his officials contributed a freewill offering to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites; Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders of the house of God , gave to the priests 2,600 Passover-offerings and 300 bulls.
