“In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.”
Thus you have profaned my sanctuary, even while you offered me my bread, the fat and the blood, and broke my covenant by your abominable acts'—continuing the indictment, establishing that admission of the uncircumcised violated both the sanctuary's holiness and the covenant itself. The double violation (sanctuary profanation and covenant breach) emphasizes the seriousness of the transgression. This verse emphasizes the covenant violation.
