הַֽמְסֻכָּ֣ן תְּרוּמָ֔ה עֵ֥ץ לֹֽא־יִרְקַ֖ב יִבְחָ֑ר חָרָ֤שׁ חָכָם֙ יְבַקֶּשׁ־ל֔וֹ לְהָכִ֥ין פֶּ֖סֶל לֹ֥א יִמּֽוֹט׃
Celui qui est trop pauvre pour une telle offrande choisit un bois incorruptible, puis s’en va chercher un ouvrier habile, pour fabriquer une idole qui ne bronche jamais.
Rashi on Isaiah
