Question: How did they show their faith?
Answer: By offering sacrifices on God’s altar.
We add “proper” to clarify that not just any sacrifice would do. The sacrifices had to be in accordance with God’s law, which is alluded to in the original answer by the reference to “God’s altar” – the only acceptable location for sacrifices.
