Instructions for Building Altars

²² And Yahweh said to Moses, “Thus you will say to the Israelites,^[a] ‘You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from the heavens. ²³ You will not make alongside me gods of silver, and gods of gold you will not make for yourselves. ²⁴ An altar of earth you will make for me, and you will sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your fellowship offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered,^[b] I will come to you, and I will bless you.
