And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
Y si quieres hacerme un altar de piedra, no uses piedras talladas o cortadas. Si usas herramientas para dar forma a las piedras, harás impuro el altar.
Dios requiere que los altares de piedra sean hechos con piedras naturales sin tallar para mantener su pureza.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Exodus, this verse is part of the instructions God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai shortly after delivering the Ten Commandments, as the Israelites were establishing their covenant relationship with Him in the wilderness. It addressed how altars for sacrifices should be built to ensure worship remained simple and untainted by human craftsmanship, reflecting the cultural practices of surrounding nations that often used elaborate stonework for religious sites. This command highlighted God's desire for purity in devotion, avoiding any risk of idolatry or pride that could come from altering natural stones.
