26	ולא־תעלה במעלת על־מזבחי אשר לא־תגלה ערותך עליו׃ פ	neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.	ουκ αναβηση εν αναβαθμισιν επι το θυσιαστηριον μου οπως αν μη αποκαλυψης την ασχημοσυνην σου επ' αυτου	Thou shalt not go up to my altar by steps, that thou mayest not uncover thy nakedness upon it.
