Exodus 20:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ You are not to make gods of silver alongside me, nor are you to make for yourselves gods of gold. ²⁴ You are to make an altar of earth for me, and you are to sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep, and your cattle. Everywhere I cause my name to be remembered, I’ll come to you and bless you. ²⁵ If you make an altar of stone for me, you must not build it of cut stones, because if you strike it with your chisel, you will profane it.
