Exodus 20:19-26
-
19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
-
20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
-
21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
-
22 And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
-
23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
-
24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
-
25 And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
-
26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
