Exodus 20:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴ “ ‘Make an altar out of dirt for me. Sacrifice your burnt offerings and friendship offerings on it. Sacrifice your sheep, goats and cattle on it. I will come to you and bless you everywhere I cause my name to be honored. ²⁵ If you make an altar out of stones to honor me, do not build it with blocks of stone. You will make it “unclean” if you use a tool on it. ²⁶ Do not walk up steps to my altar. If you do, someone might see your naked body under your robes.’
