Exodus 20:23-25

The Voice

²³ It is essential that you not make any idols to rival Me. Do not make any idols out of silver or gold for yourselves! ²⁴ Take earth and build an altar to Me and sacrifice all of your burnt offerings and peace offerings there. Offer Me the best of your sheep and oxen. Wherever I choose for My name to be remembered, I will come to you and shower blessings upon you. ²⁵ But if you decide to build an altar out of stones for Me, use only natural stones, not hand-cut stones, because any attempt to shape them with your tools will desecrate the altar.
