You foolish, blind people! Which is greater, the gold or the Temple that makes its gold sacred?
And [you say], whoever takes an oath ‘by the Altar,’ it does not [really] mean anything, but whoever takes an oath ‘by the gift on the Altar,’ he is obligated to [fulfill] the oath.
The person, therefore, who takes an oath ‘by the Altar,’ [not only] swears by it, but [also] by everything on it.
