2 Kings 16:15

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].

And king {H4428} Ahaz {H271} commanded {H6680} Urijah {H223} the priest {H3548}, saying {H559}, Upon the great {H1419} altar {H4196} burn {H6999} the morning {H1242} burnt offering {H5930}, and the evening {H6153} meat offering {H4503}, and the king's {H4428} burnt sacrifice {H5930}, and his meat offering {H4503}, with the burnt offering {H5930} of all the people {H5971} of the land {H776}, and their meat offering {H4503}, and their drink offerings {H5262}; and sprinkle {H2236} upon it all the blood {H1818} of the burnt offering {H5930}, and all the blood {H1818} of the sacrifice {H2077}: and the brasen {H5178} altar {H4196} shall be for me to enquire {H1239} by.

Then King Achaz instructed Uriyah the cohen as follows: "Henceforth, it is on the large altar that you are to offer the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, the king's burnt offering and his grain offering, together with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their grain offering and their drink offerings; and you are to splash all the blood of the burnt offering against it and all the blood of the sacrifice. As for the bronze altar, I will take care of that."

Then King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, “Offer on the great altar the morning burnt offering, the evening grain offering, and the king’s burnt offering and grain offering, as well as the burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings of all the people of the land. Sprinkle on the altar all the blood of the burnt offerings and sacrifices. But I will use the bronze altar to seek guidance.”

And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon 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 upon 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.
