OET (OET-RV) Listen, I’m building a temple to honour my god Yahweh, to consecrate to him. There we’ll burn spiced incense for him, plus we’ll have the regular bread display, and burnt offerings in the morning and in the evening, on rest days and on the new moons, and at Yahweh our god’s other appointed times. Yisrael (Israel) is required to do this forever.
