You brought foreigners into my temple—and those people were not truly circumcised {\cf2\super [417]} —they did not give themselves completely to me. In this way you made my temple unclean. You broke our agreement and did terrible things, and then you gave me the offerings of bread, the fat, and the blood. But this only made my temple unclean.
