Exodus 20:25-26
Amplified Bible
25 If you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you use a chisel on it, you will [a]profane it. 26 Nor shall you go up to My altar on steps, so that your nakedness will not be [b]exposed on it.’

- Exodus 20:25 I.e. make it common and unholy.
- Exodus 20:26 How the “nakedness” (private parts) would be exposed is not clear. Even the rabbis were puzzled because the regulation in 28:42 about linen undergarments would appear to solve any problem (according to the Talmud).
