Contemporary English Version

¹³and poured wine over it. Then he offered sacrifices to please the Lord, to give him thanks, and to ask for his blessings.^[a] ¹⁴^(A) After that, he had the bronze altar moved aside,^[b] so his new altar would be right in front of the Lord's temple. ¹⁵He told Uriah the priest:

From now on, the morning and evening sacrifices as well as all gifts of grain and wine are to be offered on this altar. The sacrifices for the people and for the king must also be offered here. Sprinkle the blood from all the sacrifices on it, but leave the bronze altar for me to use for prayer and finding out what God wants me to do.
