Exodus 20:22-26

« Exodus 19Exodus 20Exodus 21 »

22 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘You yourselves have seen that ^aI have spoken ¹to you from heaven. 23 ^aYou shall not make other gods besides Me; ^bgods of silver or gods of gold, you shall not make for yourselves. 24 You shall make ^aan altar of earth for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your ^bburnt offerings and your ^cpeace offerings, ^dyour sheep and your oxen; in every place ^ewhere I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you. 25 And if you make an altar of stone for Me, ^ayou shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your tool on it, you will profane it. 26 And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, so that ^ayour nakedness will not be exposed on it.’
