Shemot 20:22-26 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

22. And Hashem said unto Moshe, Thus thou shalt say unto the Bnei Yisroel, You yourselves have seen that from Shomayim I have spoken with you.

23. Ye shall not make beside Me elohei kesef, neither shall ye make for yourselves elohei zahav.

24. Mizbe'ach adamah thou shalt make unto Me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy olot, and thy shelamim, thy tzon, and thine oxen; in all places where I cause My Shem to be remembered, I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

25. And if thou wilt make Me a Mizbe'ach avanim, thou shalt not build it of cut stone; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast rendered it polluted.

26. Neither shalt thou go up by stairs unto Mine Mizbe'ach, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
