up
your
tool
on it, you have
polluted
it.

if you make an altar of stones
for
Me
, you must
not build it with
stones shaped
by
tools
; for if you use

on it, you will
defile
it.
Neither
shall
you go up by
steps
to my altar, that
your nakedness may
not
be exposed to
it. '
And
you must
not
go up to My altar on
steps
, lest
your nakedness be exposed on
it. ’
