Look, I am ready to build a temple to honor<n id="1" /> the <sc>Lordsc> my God and to dedicate it to him in order to burn fragrant incense before him, to set out the bread that is regularly displayed,<n id="2" /> and to offer burnt sacrifices each morning and evening, and on Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and at other times appointed by the <sc>Lordsc> our God. This is something Israel must do on a permanent basis.<n id="3" />

They offer burnt sacrifices to the <sc>Lordsc> every morning and every evening, along with fragrant incense. They arrange the Bread of the Presence on a ritually clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening. Certainly<n id="1" /> we are observing the <sc>Lordsc> our God&#8217;s regulations, but you have rejected him.

They went to King Hezekiah and said: &#8220;We have purified the entire temple of the <sc>Lordsc>, including the altar of burnt sacrifice and all its equipment, and the table for the Bread of the Presence and all its equipment.
