◄ H1631 ►

As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the H1631 to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:

When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an H1631 against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:

And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor H1631 nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.

Shall the H1631 boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.
