Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?

μωροὶ καὶ τυφλοί τί γὰρ μεῖζον τὸ δῶρον ἢ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ ἁγιάζον τὸ δῶρον;
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
אֵת מַחְתּוֹת הַֽחַטָּאִים הָאֵלֶּה בְּנַפְשֹׁתָם וְעָשׂוּ אֹתָם רִקֻּעֵי פַחִים צִפּוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ כִּֽי-הִקְרִיבֻם לִפְנֵֽי-יְהוָה וַיִּקְדָּשׁוּ וְיִֽהְיוּ לְאוֹת לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
וּמָֽשַׁחְתָּ בוֹ אֶת-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֵת אֲרוֹן הָֽעֵדֻֽת׃
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
בִּינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְסִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ׃
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
