# he went up to the house of Yahweh
The house of Yahweh was at the highest place in Jerusalem, so it is spoken of as "up."
# spread it before him
"spread out the letter in front of Yahweh." Being in the house of Yahweh is considered the same as being in Yahweh's presence. The letter was a scroll that could be unrolled and spread out.
