That we have built [01129] us an altar [04196] to turn [07725] from following [0310] the Lord [03068], or if to offer [05927] thereon burnt offering [05930] or meat offering [04503], or if to offer [06213] peace [08002] offerings [02077] thereon, let the Lord [03068] himself require [01245] it;
Therefore we said [0559], Let us now prepare [06213] to build [01129] us an altar [04196], not for burnt offering [05930], nor for sacrifice [02077]:
But that it may be a witness [05707] between us, and you, and our generations [01755] after [0310] us, that we might do [05647] the service [05656] of the Lord [03068] before [06440] him with our burnt offerings [05930], and with our sacrifices [02077], and with our peace offerings [08002]; that your children [01121] may not say [0559] to our children [01121] in time to come [04279], Ye have no part [02506] in the Lord [03068].
Therefore said [0559] we, that it shall be, when they should so say [0559] to us or to our generations [01755] in time to come [04279], that we may say [0559] again, Behold [07200] the pattern [08403] of the altar [04196] of the Lord [03068], which our fathers [01] made [06213], not for burnt offerings [05930], nor for sacrifices [02077]; but it is a witness [05707] between us and you.
God forbid [02486] that we should rebel [04775] against the Lord [03068], and turn [07725] this day [03117] from following [0310] the Lord [03068], to build [01129] an altar [04196] for burnt offerings [05930], for meat offerings [04503], or for sacrifices [02077], beside the altar [04196] of the Lord [03068] our God [0430] that is before [06440] his tabernacle [04908].
