Idols and altars

²² Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Tell the Israelites this: “You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: ²³ do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

²⁴ ‘“Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honoured, I will come to you and bless you.
