He that is too impoverished for such an oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a skilful workman to set up a graven image, that shall not be moved.

The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.

Ο πτωχος καμνων προσφοραν εκλεγει ξυλον ασηπτον· και ζητει εις εαυτον επιδεξιον τεχνιτην, δια να κατασκευαση εικονα γλυπτην μη σαλευομενην.

He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
