⁴"Go through the streets of Jerusalem and put a mark on the forehead of everyone who is in anguish over the outrageous obscenities being done in the city."a

⁶Kill old men and women, young men and women, mothers and children. But don''t lay a hand on anyone with the mark. Start at my Temple." They started with the leaders in front of the Temple.b
