Thomson(i)
3 Can men use the wood of it for any kind of workmanship? Can they make a pin of it to hang thereon any utensil?
4 Is it not in a peculiar manner doomed to be consumed by fire? Every year the fire consumeth what is lopped from it. And if a bit of it is left, is it fit for any kind of workmanship?
5 Even when entire it will be unfit for any work: how then, when fire hath burned it to a brand, can it serve for any work?
