לָכֵ֣ן חַי־אָ֗נִי נְאֻם֮ אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִה֒ אִם־לֹ֗א יַ֚עַן אֶת־מִקְדָּשִׁ֣י טִמֵּ֔את בְּכָל־שִׁקּוּצַ֖יִךְ וּבְכָל־תּוֹעֲבֹתָ֑יִךְ וְגַם־אֲנִ֤י אֶגְרַע֙ וְלֹא־תָח֣וֹס עֵינִ֔י וְגַם־אֲנִ֖י לֹ֥א אֶחְמֽוֹל׃
Kaya't kung paanong Ako'y buháy, sabi ng Panginoong Walang-Hanggan, tiyak na dahil dinungisan mo ang Aking Santuwaryo ng lahat ng iyong mga karumal-dumal na diyus-diyosan at ng lahat ng iyong mga kasuklam-suklam na gawain, ay babawasan din kita; hindi ka kahahabagan ng Aking mata, at hindi rin Ako magpapakita ng awa.
Tosefta Shevuot
Rabbi Shimon would say: Impurity of the Temple and its sacrificial foods is more serious than all the aveirot that are in the Torah, because all the aveirot that are in the Torah are atoned for by one goat but impurity of the Temple and its sacrificial foods is atoned for by 32 goats. All the aveirot that are in the Torah are atoned for once a year but impurity of the Temple and its sacrificial foods is atoned for every single month, as it says, “Assuredly, as I live—said the Lord God—because you defiled my sanctuary [with all of your detestable things and all of your abominations, I in turn will shear you away and show no pity” (Ezek 5:11). Serious were your detestable things and the abominations you did, but the impurity of the Temple and its sacrificial food is more serious than all of them.
