SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:15
Y mandó el rey Acaz al sacerdote Urías, diciendo: En el gran altar encenderás el holocausto de la mañana y el presente de la tarde, y el holocausto del rey y su presente, y asimismo el holocausto de todo el pueblo de la tierra y su presente, y sus libaciones; y toda sangre de holocausto, y toda sangre de sacrificio, esparcirás junto a él; y el altar de bronce será mío para consultar en él .
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying , etc.] Who was not to be commanded by the king in matters of worship, but to attend to the laws and institutions of God: saying, upon the great altar ; meaning the new one, which either was of a larger size than the altar of God, or was greater in the esteem of Ahaz: burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering ; the daily sacrifice, morning and evening: and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings ; such as were offered up at any time on the account of the rulers of the land in particular, or of the whole congregation of Israel, (see Leviticus 4:1-35) and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice ; as it used to be sprinkled upon the altar of the Lord: and the brasen altar shall be for me to inquire by ; to search, inquire, and consider what was to be done with it; for altars were never inquired by as oracles; the meaning is, that it was never to be made use of but by him, and when he pleased.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-16 - God's altar had hitherto been kept in its place, and in use; but Aha put another in the room of it. The natural regard of the mind of man to some sort of religion, is not easily extinguished; but except it be regulated by the word, and by the Spirit of God, it produces absur superstitions, or detestable idolatries. Or, at best, it quiets the sinner's conscience with unmeaning ceremonies. Infidels have often bee remarkable for believing ridiculous falsehoods.
