Exodus 20

18 And all the people sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare off, 19 And sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, lest we die. 20 Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not. 21 So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes where God was. 22 And the Lord sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen. 23 Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none. 24 An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee. 25 But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them. 26 Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
