²⁴ You are to make an altar of earth for me and to sacrifice your whole burnt offerings on it, as well as your fellowship offerings, your sheep, and your cattle. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come to you and I will bless you.

²⁵ If you make a stone altar for me, you are not to build it out of cut stones, because by applying a tool to it you would pollute it.

²⁶ You are not to go up to my altar by steps, so that your nakedness will not be uncovered upon it.
