Sheviis 1:3

Measuring Barren Trees

אִילַן סְרָק כְּאִילַן מַאֲכָל
אֶחָד אִילַן סְרָק וְאֶחָד אִילַן מַאֲכָל,
רוֹאִין אוֹתָן כְּאִלּוּ הֵם תְּאֵנִים.
אִם רְאוּיִם לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּכַּר דְּבֵלָה שֶׁל שִׁשִּׁים מָנֶה בָּאִיטַלְקִי, חוֹרְשִׁים כָּל בֵּית סְאָה בִּשְׁבִילָן.
פָּחוֹת מִכָּאן, אֵין חוֹרְשִׁים לָהֶם אֶלָּא לְצָרְכָּן:
