On the altar, Ahaz burned his burnt offerings and grain offerings. He poured his drink offering and sprinkled the blood of his fellowship offerings on this altar.
This is how many burnt offerings the assembly brought to the temple: 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs. All these animals were sacrificed as burnt offerings to the Lord.
Then Moses climbed up the mountain to meet with God. God spoke to him on the mountain and said, “Tell these things to the people of Israel, the great family of Jacob:
The Lord said to Moses, “Come to me on the mountain. I have written my teachings and laws on two flat stones. These teachings and laws are for the people. I will give these flat stones to you.”
When I meet with you, I will speak from between the Cherub angels [177] on the cover that is on the Box of the Agreement. [178] From that place I will give all my commands to the people of Israel.
“You must burn these things as an offering to the Lord every day. Do this at the entrance of the Meeting Tent [284] before the Lord. Continue to do this for all time. When you make the offering, I the Lord will meet you there and speak to you.
Moses used to take a tent a short way outside the camp. Moses called it “the meeting tent. [333] ” Any person who wanted to ask something from the Lord would go to the meeting tent outside the camp.
So all the work on the Holy Tent, [471] that is, the Meeting Tent was finished. The people of Israel did everything exactly like the Lord had commanded Moses.
Moses put the altar for burning offerings at the entrance to the Holy Tent, [500] that is, the Meeting Tent. Then Moses offered a burnt offering on that altar. He also offered grain offerings to the Lord. He did these things like the Lord had commanded him.
The Lord gave those laws to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Lord gave those laws on the day that he commanded the people of Israel to bring their offerings to the Lord in the Sinai desert.
The Lord spoke to Moses in the Meeting Tent. [1] This was in the Sinai Desert. It was on the first day of the second month of the second year after the people of Israel left Egypt. The Lord said to Moses:
Moses went into the Meeting Tent [122] to speak to the Lord. At that time, he heard the Lord’s voice speaking to him. The voice was coming from the area between the two Cherub angels on the special cover [123] on top of the Box of the Agreement. [124] {This was the way} God spoke to Moses.
