Whatever token sacrifices the halfhearted Jews offered up on the temporary altar in Jerusalem were unacceptable as long as they neglected true worship. ​ — Ezra 3: 3.
فَكَانَتْ كُلُّ ٱلذَّبَائِحِ ٱلشَّكْلِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي قَدَّمَهَا ٱلْيَهُودُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ ٱلْمُؤَقَّتِ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ مَرْفُوضَةً مَا دَامُوا يَتَجَاهَلُونَ ٱلْعِبَادَةَ ٱلْحَقَّةَ .‏ —‏ عزرا ٣ :‏ ٣‏ .‏
