Kung Ahas befallde prästen Uria: ”På det stora altaret ska du bränna morgonens brännoffer och kvällens matoffer, likaså kungens brännoffer tillsammans med hans matoffer, samt brännoffer, matoffer och dryckesoffer för allt folk i landet. Allt blod av såväl brännoffer som slaktoffer ska du stänka på det. Men kopparaltaret ska jag tänka till om .”
And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
