It means exactly what it says. In context, King Yoshiah, who spearheaded a movement of repentance, was exhorting the people of Judah to fulfill the commandments of Passover as stated in the Book of the Covenant (the Torah, in Exodus ch.12 and other passages). The festival of Passover is on the 15th of Nisan and the six days following. When the Temple still stood, the Passover sacrifice was offered up on the afternoon of the 14th day of Nisan.
Answer.
Many people are not aware that the "Passover" is the 7th day, the day of rest, that is after praying 3 times daily, 6 days weekly. So the 7th day would be just as it said the "Passover",(Exodus 23v12-14) but there are many denominations who ignore that all important law.

2 Chronicles 35:16-19 (NKJV) So all the service of the Lord was prepared the same day, to keep the Passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah. And the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days. There had been no Passover kept in Israel like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.
