Parashas Terumah · Passuk 25:10
Yoma 3b
English: Abba Hanan said in the name of Rabbi Elazar: one verse says, “Make for yourself an ark of wood,” while another says, “They shall make an ark of acacia wood.” One applies when Israel do the will of the Omnipresent; the other applies when they do not do His will.
What Is Learned: The two verses concerning the ark reflect two different spiritual conditions of Israel.
