Exodus 20:22-24

Evangelical Heritage Version

²² Then the Lord told Moses to tell the people of Israel the following things:

You yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. ²³ You shall not make gods of silver or gods of gold and place them beside me. You shall not make them for yourselves.

²⁴ You are to make an altar of earth for me and to sacrifice your whole burnt offerings on it, as well as your fellowship offerings, your sheep, and your cattle. In every place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come to you and I will bless you.
