Kong Ahas befalte presten Uria: «Brenn morgenens brennoffer og kveldens grødeoffer og kongens brennoffer og hans grødeoffer, og folkets hele land, deres grødeoffer og drikkoffer på det store alteret. Alt blodet fra brennofferet og fra slaktofferet skal du stenke over det. Men bronsalteret skal være for meg å konsultere.»
King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, 'On the large altar, offer the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering, the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, the burnt offerings of all the people of the land, their grain offerings, and their drink offerings. Then, you shall sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offerings and the blood of the sacrifices. But the bronze altar will be for my personal use for inquiry.'
