They are not settling back down in Palestine and looking around saying,
Terry L. Johnsonwell, what shall we do next? How do you think we ought to proceed?They are not taking up bids on altar designs, going to various contractors and seeing what kind of a price they can get and looking at the aesthetic qualities of various designs saying,which one do you think would be better? Which one do you think is the more attractive? We have got to think of the Canaanites after all. We have got to attract the Canaanites into our form of religion. We need to have a beautiful altar; one that appeals to them and that is culturally relevant.No, that is not what they are doing at all. They are proceeding according to Scripture.1
2 Josué, fils de Jotsadak, avec ses frères les sacrificateurs, et Zorobabel, fils de Schealthiel, avec ses frères, se levèrent et bâtirent l'autel du Dieu d'Israël, pour y offrir des holocaustes, selon ce qui est écrit dans la loi de Moïse, homme de Dieu.
