27:4  When you cross the Jordan, on Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones concerning which I command you today, and coat them with plaster,
27:5  and you shall build there an altar to the Lord, your God, an altar made of stones that no iron tool has touched.
27:6  You shall build this altar of the Lord, your God, with unhewn stones, and shall offer on it burnt offerings to the Lord, your God.
