Don’t you know that those who serve in the temple eat food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar receive a part of the offerings?

So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it.

Yet the one these things are spoken about belongs to a different tribe, and no one from that tribe has ever officiated at the altar.

And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar is bound by nothing. But if anyone swears by the gift on it he is bound by the oath.’
