열왕기하 10:27의 Tosefta
וַֽיִּתְּצ֔וּ אֵ֖ת מַצְּבַ֣ת הַבָּ֑עַל וַֽיִּתְּצוּ֙ אֶת־בֵּ֣ית הַבַּ֔עַל וַיְשִׂמֻ֥הוּ למחראות [לְמֽוֹצָא֖וֹת] עַד־הַיּֽוֹם׃
바알의 목상을 헐며 바알의 당을 훼파하여 변소를 만들었더니 오늘날까지 이르니라
Tosefta Megillah
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 ('excrement', considered softer than chiryonim, 'dung', as written) sold for five shekels," [and] (Is. 36:12), "to eat tzo'atam ('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 ('latrines,' considered softer than chara'ot, 'outhouses', as written) until today." Rabbi Yehoshua ben Karcha says, [with respect to the last example,] "and they turned it into chara'ot (per GR"A)," we read it as it is written because the thing itself (i.e., the temple of Ba'al) is obscene.
