NASB					Ex 20:26 'And you shall not go⁵⁹²⁷ up by steps^4609b to My altar⁴¹⁹⁶, so⁸³⁴ that ^Ayour nakedness⁶¹⁷² will not be exposed¹⁵⁴⁰ on it.'
AMPLIFIED 2015					Ex 20:26 'Nor shall you go up to My altar on steps, so that your nakedness will not be ¹exposed on it.'

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

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).
