Exodus 20:25 in Context — Exodus 20

23 Não façais comigo deuses de prata, nem deuses de ouro vos fareis.

24 Da terra farás altar para mim, e sacrificarás sobre ele teus holocaustos e tuas ofertas pacíficas, tuas ovelhas e tuas vacas: em qualquer lugar onde eu fizer que esteja a memória de meu nome, virei a ti, e te abençoarei.

25 E se me fizeres altar de pedras, não as faças lavradas; porque se levantares teu buril sobre ele, tu o profanarás.

26 E não subirás por degraus a meu altar, para que tua nudez não seja junto a ele descoberta.
