Deuteronomy 27:4–6

⁴And when you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to coat them with plaster.

⁵Moreover, you are to build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them. ⁶You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God.
