then whoever is the first to come through<n id="1" /> the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from fighting the Ammonites &#8211; he<n id="2" /> will belong to the <sc>Lordsc> and<n id="3" /> I will offer him up as a burnt sacrifice.&#8221;

Then build an altar for the <sc>Lordsc> your God on the top of this stronghold according to the proper pattern.<n id="1" /> Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt sacrifice on the wood from the Asherah pole that you cut down.&#8221;
