1. And the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
2. Ben adam, how is the etz hagefen (wood of the grapevine) better than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
3. Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? Or will men take a yated (peg) of it to hang any vessel thereon?
4. Hinei, it is cast into the eish for fuel; the eish devoureth both the ends of it, and the middle of it is charred. Is it fit for any melachah (work)?
