[20:22] The Lord commanded Moses to tell the Israelites: “You have seen how I, the Lord, have spoken to you from heaven.
[20:23] Do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gold to be worshiped in addition to me.
[20:24] Make an altar of earth for me, and on it sacrifice your sheep and your cattle as offerings to be completely burned and as fellowship offerings. In every place that I set aside for you to worship me, I will come to you and bless you.
[20:25] If you make an altar of stone for me, do not build it out of cut stones, because when you use a chisel on stones, you make them unfit for my use.
[20:26] Do not build an altar for me with steps leading up to it; if you do, you will expose yourselves as you go up the steps.
