2 Chronicles 7:7

Context
7:7 Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that is in front of the Lord’s temple. He offered burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, 1  and the fat from the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was too small to hold all these offerings. 2 

2 Chronicles 15:8

Context

15:8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged. 3  He removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had seized in the Ephraimite hill country. He repaired the altar of the Lord in front of the porch of the Lord’s temple. 4 

2 Chronicles 26:19

Context
26:19 Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry. While he was ranting and raving 5  at the priests, a skin disease 6  appeared on his forehead right there in front of the priests in the Lord’s temple near the incense altar.

2 Chronicles 29:21

Context
29:21 They brought seven bulls, seven rams, seven lambs, and seven goats as a sin offering for the kingdom, the sanctuary, and Judah. 7  The king 8  told the priests, the descendants of Aaron, to offer burnt sacrifices on the altar of the Lord.

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 (vÿet-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿet) 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 “strengthened himself.”

4 tn Heb “the porch of the Lord.”

5 tn Heb “angry.”

6 tn Traditionally “leprosy,” but this was probably a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy (technically known today as Hansen’s disease). See 2 Kgs 5:1.

7 sn Perhaps these terms refer metonymically to the royal court, the priests and Levites, and the people, respectively.

8 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
