18. You also say, “If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath.”

20. Therefore, anyone who swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.
21. And anyone who swears by the temple swears by it and by the one who dwells in it.
