¹⁷ Ye fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that hath sanctified the gold?

¹⁹ Ye blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

²⁶ And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,

²⁷ and the table and all the vessels thereof, and the candlestick and the vessels thereof, and the altar of incense,

²⁸ and the altar of burnt-offering with all the vessels thereof, and the laver and the base thereof.

²⁹ And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.

³⁸ even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Jehovah; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

³⁹ And Eleazar the priest took the brazen censers, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
