Exodus 20 — Context

23

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

24

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.

25

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.

26

And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.
