2 Chronicles 7:7

26:18 They confronted 3 King Uzziah and said to him, “It is not proper for you, Uzziah, to offer incense to the Lord.

2 Chronicles 31:6

2 Chronicles 35:3

1 tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.
2 tn Heb “to hold the burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.” Because this is redundant, the translation employs a summary phrase: “all these offerings.”
3 tn Heb “stood against.”
4 tn Or “been unfaithful.”
5 tn Heb “porch of the Lord.”
6 tn Heb “and the sons of Israel and Judah.”
7 tn Heb “heaps, heaps.” Repetition of the noun draws attention to the large number of heaps.
