Core Text — Yerushalmi Sukkah 4:3
אמר רבי ברכיה: מעשה אין כתיב כאן אלא כמעשה. הוא וכל ארגלייה שלה היא וכל פרקמטי' שלה.

English: Rabbi Berechiah derives from the wording “like the work of a sapphire brick” that it recalls not only the brick itself but all the tools and equipment associated with making it, reflecting the full burden of the Egyptian brickwork.
