Kong Akas befalte presten Uria og sa: Bruk det store alteret til å brenne morgenens brennoffer, kveldens matoffer, kongens brennoffer og hans matoffer, sammen med hele folkets brennoffer og deres matoffer og deres drikkoffer. Stenk på det alt blodet fra brennofferet og alt blodet fra slaktofferet. Men kobberalteret skal være for meg å søke råd ved.
King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meal-offering, and the king's burnt offering, and his meal-offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: but the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire by.
