Und so du mir einen steinernen Altar machen willst, sollst du ihn nicht von gehauenen Steinen bauen; denn wo du mit deinem Messer darüber fährst, so wirst du ihn entweihen.
Y si me hicieres altar de piedras, no las labres de cantería; porque si alzares tu pico sobre él, tú lo profanarás.
Si me haces un altar de piedras, no lo construirás con piedras labradas, porque si levantas tu herramienta sobre él, lo profanarás.
Si tu m'élèves un autel de pierre, tu ne le bâtiras point en pierres taillées; car en passant ton ciseau sur la pierre, tu la profanerais.
E se pur tu mi fai un altar di pietre, non fabbricarlo di pietre conce a scarpello; quando tu vi avrai fatto passar lo scarpello sopra, tu l’avrai contaminate.
E se me fizeres um altar de pedras, não o farás de pedras lavradas; se sobre ele levantares o teu buril, profaná-lo-ás.
你若為我築一座石壇,不可用鑿過的石頭,因為你在石頭上動了工具,就使壇污穢了。
