Exegesis
Both clauses use the prepositional phrase en tō naō / en tō chrysō tou naou {ἐν τῷ ναῷ / ἐν τῷ χρυσῷ τοῦ ναοῦ | en tō na-ō / en tō khry-sō tou na-ou} where en with the dative marks the object “by which” the oath is sworn.
In context — Matthew 23:16
Woe to you, blind guides , who say, “Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated .”
