Exodus 20:24
“To make an altar of earth for the Lord is to place our hope in the incarnation of the Mediator. Our gift is accepted by God when, on this altar, our humility rests whatever it does upon faith in the Lord's incarnation. We place the gift we offer on an altar made of earth if we base all our actions on faith in the Lord…”
Source: Septuagint
24Ye shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it ye shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to thee and bless thee.

22And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and thou shalt report it to the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.
23Ye shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold ye shall not make to yourselves.
— Exodus 20:24 —
25And if thou wilt make to me an altar of stones, thou shalt not build them hewn stones; for thou hast lifted up thy tool upon them, and they are defiled.
26Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.
