20:22 Instructions about altars

22Then Yahweh told Mosheh, “This is what you need to tell the Israelis: ‘You yourselves have seen that I, Yahweh, have talked with you from heaven. 23You all mustn’t make gods out of silver or gold for yourselves to have alongside me. 24You need to make an altar for me out of dirt, and then you can sacrifice your burnt offerings and peace offerings, and your sheep and cattle, on it. I’ll inform you about every place where I want to be worshipped and I’ll come to you and will bless you there. 25If you do make me an altar with stones, you mustn’t use cut stones to build it because moving your tools over it will defile it.[ref] 26And don’t use steps to get up to the altar because you might expose your private parts under your robes.


22and_he/it_said YHWH to Mosheh thus you_will_say to the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) you_all you_all_have_seen if/because_that from the_heavens I_have_spoken to_you_all.
23Not make alongside_me gods of_silver and_gods of_gold not you_all_must_make for_yourselves.
24An_altar of_earth you_will_make to/for_me and_sacrifice on/upon/above_him/it DOM burnt_offerings_your and_DOM fellowship_offerings_your DOM sheep_your and_DOM oxen_your in_all the_place where I_will_cause_to_be_remembered DOM name_my I_will_come to_you and_bless_you.
25And_if an_altar of_stones you_will_make to/for_me not you_must_build DOM_it hewn_[stone] if/because chisel_your you_have_wielded on/upon_it(f) and_profane_it.
26And_not you_must_go_up in/on/at/with_steps to altar_my that not it_will_be_uncovered nakedness_your on/upon/above_him/it.
