'Swears' in the Bible

"Alas for you, you blind guides, who say, "'Whoever swears by the Sanctuary it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the Sanctuary, is bound by the oath.'

And you say, "'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the offering lying on it is bound by the oath.'

He who swears by the altar swears both by it and by everything on it;

he who swears by the Sanctuary swears both by it and by Him who dwells in it;

and he who swears by Heaven swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.
