²⁴ “‘Make an altar^(A) of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings^(B) and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name^(C) to be honored, I will come to you and bless^(D) you. ²⁵ If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool^(E) on it.

⁴ And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal,^(A) as I command you today, and coat them with plaster. ⁵ Build there an altar^(B) to the Lord your God, an altar of stones.
