(יג) וַיַּ֕עַשׂ חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים קַרְסֵ֣י זָהָ֑ב וַיְחַבֵּ֨ר אֶת־הַיְרִעֹ֜ת אַחַ֤ת אֶל־אַחַת֙ בַּקְּרָסִ֔ים וַֽיְהִ֥י הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן אֶחָֽד׃ (ס)
(13) And they made fifty gold clasps and coupled the units to one another with the clasps, so that the Tabernacle became one whole. -
The one who made the Holy Ark itself was unable to feel superior to the one who made the courtyard tent pegs.
