You blind men! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold? ¹⁸ »‘When you swear by an altar, you owe nothing. When you swear by the gift left on the altar, you are obligated. ¹⁹ »You blind men! What is more important, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? ²⁰ »He who swears by the altar, swears by it and everything on it. ²¹ »He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by him that dwells within it. ²² »Thus, he who swears by heaven also swears by the throne of God and him who sits on it.
