- "Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.'
- "You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?
- "And, 'Whoever swears by the altar, that is nothing, but whoever swears by the offering on it, he is obligated.'
- "You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?
- "Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.

- Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
- Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
- And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
- Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
- Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
