(19) When in your war against a city you have to besiege it a long time in order to capture it, you must not destroy its trees, wielding the ax against them. You may eat of them, but you must not cut them down. Are trees of the field human to withdraw before you into the besieged city?
(ד) חמשה קולן יוצא מסוף העולם ועד סופו ואין הקול נשמע. בשעה שכורתין את האילן שהוא עושה פרי הקול יוצא מסוף העולם ועד סופו ואין הקול נשמע, ובשעה שהנחש נפשט, ובשעה שהאשה מתגרשת מבעלה, ... ובשעה שהולד יוצא מן הגוף עד שתראה את השכינה.
There are five whose voices go out from one end of the world to the other, and yet the voice is not heard: In the moment that they cut down a tree that produces fruit - the voice goes out from one end of the world to the end, and yet the voice is not heard.And at the moment when the snake sheds its skin, and when a woman is divorced from her husband...and when a baby goes out from the (mother's) body...until it sees the Shekhina.
