— Exodus 20:26 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
You shall most certainly not make gods of silver or gods of gold for yourselves to be alongside me.
You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’
