And they set the altar upon his bases
 Which might remain of the old altar; or the meaning is, that it was fixed and settled on the same spot where it stood before: 
 for fear was upon them, because of the people of those countries;
 and therefore they hastened to erect an altar, and offer sacrifices to the Lord, in hope that he would appear for them, and help them against their enemies; or rather, as some render the words F17 "though fear was upon them" yet they were not deterred from the work, worship, and service of God: 
 and they offered burnt offerings unto the Lord, even burnt offerings,
 morning and evening;
 the daily sacrifice, as directed to ( Exodus 29:38 Exodus 29:39 ) .
