407 B

How does a carpenter start to make an idol?

He cuts down cedar trees, or chooses a cyprus tree or an oak tree [44:14]

What does the man do with the wood from the tree he has cut down?

The man uses part of it for a fire and warms himself with it, bakes bread with it and roasts his meat over it and with part of it he makes an idol, a god, and bows down to it, reverences it and prays to it [44:14; 44:17]
