- seven altars:
- "An altarª of earthª thou shalt makeª° unto me, and shalt sacrificeª° thereon¹¹ thy burnt offerings,ª and thy peace offerings,ª¹ thy sheep,ª and thine oxen:ª in all¹ placesª where¹ I recordª°¹ my nameª I will comeª° unto¹ thee, and I will blessª° thee." {Exd 20:24} + "And thou shalt makeª°¹ an altarª [of] shittimª wood,ª fiveª cubitsª long,ª and fiveª cubitsª broad;ª the altarª shall be¹ foursquare:ª° and the heightª thereof [shall be] threeª cubits.ª ... Hollowª° with boardsª shalt thou makeª° it: as¹ it was shewedª° thee in the mount,ª so¹ shall they makeª° [it]." {Exd 27:1-8} + "And Samuelª said,ª° Hath the LORDª [as great] delightª in burnt offeringsª and sacrifices,ª as in obeyingª° the voiceª of the LORD?ª Behold,¹ to obeyª° [is] betterª than sacrifice,ª¹ [and] to hearkenª° than the fatª¹ of rams.ª" {1Sm 15:22} + "But if¹ ye sayª° unto¹ me, We trustª° in¹ the LORDª our God:ª [is] not¹ that he,¹ whose¹¹ high placesª and whose altarsª Hezekiahª hath taken away,ª° and hath saidª° to Judahª and Jerusalem,ª Ye shall worshipª° beforeª this¹ altarª in Jerusalem?ª" {2Kg 18:22} + "I will not¹ reproveª° thee for¹ thy sacrificesª or thy burnt offerings,ª [to have been] continuallyª before¹ me. ... I will takeª° no¹ bullockª out of thy house,ª¹ [nor] he goatsª out of thy folds.ª¹" {Psa 50:8-9} + "The sacrificeª of the wickedª [is] an abominationª to the LORD:ª but the prayerª of the uprightª [is] his delight.ª" {Prv 15:8} + "To whatª purpose [is] the multitudeª of your sacrificesª unto me? saithª° the LORD:ª I am fullª° of the burnt offeringsª of rams,ª and the fatª of fed beasts;ª and I delightª° not¹ in the bloodª of bullocks,ª or of lambs,ª or of he goats.ª ... And when ye spread forthª° your hands,ª I will hideª° mine eyesª from¹ you: yea,¹ when¹ ye make manyª° prayers,ª I will not¹ hear:ª° your handsª are fullª° of blood.ª" {Isa 1:11-15} + "¹ Woeª unto you,ª scribesª andª Pharisees,ª hypocrites!ª forª ye devourª° widows'ª houses,ª andª for a pretenceª make²° long² prayer:ª°¹ thereforeªª ye shall receiveª° the greater²¹ damnation.ª" {Mtt 23:14}
