King Ahaz sends Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar he saw at Damascus, and Urijah builds an altar

아하스왕이 다메섹에서 본 단의 식양을 제사장 우리야에게 보내고 우리야가 단을 만듦

2 Kings 16:10–16: King Ahaz goes to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and sees the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sends to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build it. The text says, “Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.” When the king comes from Damascus, the king sees the altar; and the king comes near to the altar, and offers on it. He burns his burnt offering and his meal offering, pours his drink offering, and sprinkles the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brings from the front of the house, from between his altar and the LORD’s house, and puts it on the north side of his altar. King Ahaz commands Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.” Urijah the priest does so, according to all that King Ahaz commanded. The Korean Revised Version names King Ahaz, Urijah and the king fewer times in 16:10–12; at 16:11 it puts first that the altar was made before King Ahaz came back from Damascus (아하스왕이 다메섹에서 돌아오기 전에); it names no one at 16:13 and 16:14, where WEB reads “He” and “he”; and at 16:14 it reads 새 단, the new altar, where WEB reads “his altar”.
