Thematic Bible: Sanctified everything that touched it
Thematic Bible
Altar » In the tabernacle » Sanctified everything that touched it
For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar [of burnt offering] and consecrate it; then the altar shall be most holy. Whatever touches the altar must be holy (set apart for God’s service).
You shall consecrate them, that they may be most holy; whatever touches them must be holy (set apart for God).
You say too, Whoever swears by the altar is not duty bound; but whoever swears by the offering on the altar, his oath is binding. You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar which makes the gift sacred?
