Exodus 20:23-26

231You shall not makeH6213 other gods besidesH854 Me; 2godsH430 of silverH3701 or godsH430 of goldH2091, you shall not makeH6213 for yourselvesH864.

24You shall makeH6213 3an altarH4196 of earthH127 for Me, and you shall sacrificeH2076 on it your 4burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and your 5peaceH8002 offeringsH8002, 6your sheepH6629 and your oxenH1241; in everyH3605 placeH4725 7whereH834 I cause My nameH8034 to be rememberedH2142, I will comeH935 to you and blessH1288 you.

25IfH518 you makeH6213 an altarH4196 of stoneH68 for Me, 8you shall not buildH1129 it of cutH1496 stonesH1496, for if you wieldH5130 your toolH2719 on it, you will profaneH2490 it.

26And you shall not goH5927 up by stepsH4609 to My altarH4196, soH834 that 9your nakednessH6172 will not be exposedH1540 on it.’
