²⁵ And if you make an altar of stone for Me, ^(A)you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you wield your chisel on it, you will profane it.

³¹ just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, ^(A)an altar of uncut stones on which no one had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
