Tossefta sur Le Deutéronome 28:30

All the verses in the Torah which are written in obscene language are read in refined language, such as (Deut. 28:30), [which is written,] "You will betroth a woman, but another man will yishgalenah ('ravish her)," in every place where it is written yishgalenah, we read it as yishkavenah ("lie with her"); and such as (Deut. 28:27), [which is written,] "[God will strike you] with the boils of Egypt and with afolim ('hemmerhoids')," in every place where it is written afolim, we read it as tehorim ("tumors"); and such as (2 Kings 6:25-26), "a quarter of a kav of doves' divyonim^*i.e., "excrement," considered softer than chiryonim ("dung") as written sold for five shekels," [and] (Is. 36:12), "to eat tzo'atam^*i.e., "their own excrement," considered softer than chareichem ("their own dung"), as written and drink their urine," [and] (2 Kings 10:27), "and they turned it (i.e., the temple of Ba'al) into motzaot^*i.e., "latrines," considered softer than chara'ot ("outhouses"), as written until today." Rabbi Yehoshua ben Karcha says, [with respect to] "and they turned it into chara'ot," we read it as it is written because the thing itself (i.e., the temple of Ba'al) is obscene.
