2 Kings 16:15 CPDV

¹³  And he offered libations, and he poured out the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered, upon the altar.

¹⁴  But the altar of brass, which was before the Lord, he took away from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord. And he positioned it at the side of the altar, toward the north.

¹⁵  Also, king Ahaz instructed Uriah, the priest, saying: 'Upon the great altar, offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the holocaust of the king, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the entire people of the land, and their sacrifices. But their libations, and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim, you shall pour out upon it. Then truly, the altar of brass shall be prepared for use at my will.'

¹⁶  And so Uriah, the priest, acted in accord with all that king Ahaz had instructed to him.

¹⁷  Then king Ahaz took away the engraved bases, and the basin that was upon them. And he took down the sea from the bronze oxen, which were holding it up. And he positioned it upon a layer of pavement stone.
