22:26 So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,
22:27 but as a reminder to us and you, 1 and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the Lord in his very presence 2 with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. 3 Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, ‘You have no right to worship the Lord.’ 4
1 tnHeb “but it is a witness between us and you.”
2 tnHeb “to do the service of the Lord before him.”
