וַתִּמְצָ֨א כַקֵּ֤ן ׀ יָדִי֙ לְחֵ֣יל הָֽעַמִּ֔ים וְכֶאֱסֹף֙ בֵּיצִ֣ים עֲזֻב֔וֹת כָּל־הָאָ֖רֶץ אֲנִ֣י אָסָ֑פְתִּי וְלֹ֤א הָיָה֙ נֹדֵ֣ד כָּנָ֔ף וּפֹצֶ֥ה פֶ֖ה וּמְצַפְצֵֽף׃
Tanganku telah mendapati kekayaan bangsa-bangsa seperti mendapati sarang burung, dan seperti orang mengumpulkan telur-telur yang ditinggalkan, demikianlah aku telah mengumpulkan seluruh bumi. Tidak ada yang mengepakkan sayap, atau membuka mulut, atau mencicit.”
Jerusalem Talmud Avodah Zarah
“But the Sages say, prohibited are only those in whose hand is a rod, or a bird, or a globe.” A rod by which he rules the world41Babli 41a. The other two attributes are interpreted differently; the Yerushalmi interpretation also is in Num. rabba 13(13).. A bird, my hand reaches to the riches of people as to a bird’s nest42Is. 10:14.. A globe, for the world is globe-shaped.
