Altar in the Tabernacle: Sanctified Everything That Touched It

For seven days you shall make atonement for the altar and consecrate it. Then the altar will become most holy; whatever touches the altar will be holy.

You are to consecrate them so that they will be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.

And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath.’

You blind men! Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes it sacred?
