Isaiah · 1

Isaiah 10:15 הַמַּשּׂוֹר֙ the saw

Does an axe raise itself above the one who swings it? Does a saw boast over him who saws with it? It would be like a rod waving the one who lifts it, or a staff lifting him who is not wood!

Here: A saw. This word occurs only here in the Hebrew Bible. Like the axe, it is a woodworking tool that does nothing until someone pulls it.
