Torah Temimah — Yerushalmi Shabbos 12:3

Core Text of Chazal

וְהַקִּימוֹת אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן כְּמִשְׁפָּטוֹ. וְכִי יֵשׁ מִשְׁפָּט לָעֵצִים? אֶלָּא אֵיזֶהוּ קֶרֶשׁ זָכָה לְהִנָּתֵן בַּצָּפוֹן — יִנָּתֵן בַּצָּפוֹן, בַּדָּרוֹם — יִנָּתֵן בַּדָּרוֹם.

English

Rabbi Immi asks why the Torah speaks of a 'judgment' for wood. The teaching is that a board that was assigned to the north must remain in the north, and one assigned to the south must remain in the south. The original arrangement of the Mishkan was to be preserved.
