²⁵ And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

⁵ There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

⁶ You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

³¹ In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
