whosoever therefore sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all that thereon is.
Ye fools and blind: whether is greater the offering, or the altar which sanctifieth the offering?
And whosoever sweareth by the temple sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Men verily swear by him that is greater than themselves, And an oath to confirm the thing, is among them an end of all strife.
