Exodus 20:24-26

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁴ ‘You shall make an altar of earth to Me. And thereupon you shall offer your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen. I will come to you and bless you in all places where I shall put the remembrance of My Name.

²⁵ ‘But if you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it from hewn stones. For if you use your tool upon them, you have polluted them.

²⁶ ‘Nor shall you go up to My altar by steps, so that your filthiness is not discovered thereupon.’”
