Exodus 20:23

21 So the people stood afar off, but Moses drew near ^athe thick darkness where God was.

The Law of the Altar

22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘You have seen that I have talked with you ^afrom heaven.

23 You shall not make anything to be ^awith Me—gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.

24 An altar of ^aearth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, ^byour sheep and your oxen. In every ^cplace where I record My name I will come to you, and I will ^dbless you.

25 And ^aif you make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you ^buse your tool on it, you have profaned it.

26 Nor shall you go up by steps to My altar, that your ^anakedness may not be exposed on it.’
