2 Chronicles 23:10

The bronze altar, which was before Yahweh, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and Yahweh’s house, and put it on the north side of his altar.

Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to Yahweh; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.

He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

“If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched land.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits, its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits.

“On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in.”

The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David’s, which were in Yahweh’s house.

The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.

and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, with the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, “Treason! Treason!”

The king stood by the pillar, and made a covenant before Yahweh, to walk after Yahweh, and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.

He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields in abundance.

Those who built the wall, and those who bore burdens loaded themselves; everyone with one of his hands did the work, and with the other held his weapon.

So neither I, nor my brothers, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us took off our clothes. Everyone took his weapon to the water.

He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.

Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands to God.

Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits, henna with spikenard plants,

He brought me into the inner court of Yahweh’s house; and I saw at the door of Yahweh’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward Yahweh’s temple, and their faces toward the east. They were worshiping the sun toward the east.

Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don’t break ranks.

Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, Yahweh, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’ ”

that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.

from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
