Exodus 20 — Context

And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.

And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.

And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.

And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven

Gods of silver and gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.

Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.
