If therefore, thou bring thy gift upon the altar, and there thou remember that thy brother has anything against thee,

Let go there thy gift, before the altar, and retire; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then, having come, bring thy gift.

And, Whoever should swear by the altar, it is nothing; and whoever should swear by the gift above it, he is indebted.

Foolish and blind: for which is the greater, the gift, or the altar, consecrating the gifts?

Therefore, he having sworn by the altar, swears by it, and by all above it.

So that all the just blood shed upon the earth might come upon you, from the blood of just Abel to the blood of Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom ye killed between the temple and altar.
