Tosefta for Menachot 56:2
חצוצרות מ"ט אילימא דאמר קרא (במדבר י, ב) עשה לך לך ולא לדורות אלא מעתה (דברים י, א) ועשית לך ארון עץ הכי נמי דלך ולא לדורות
Should you say because it is written, Make thee,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid.');"><sup>1</sup></span> that is, for thyself only but not for future generations; then the verse, And make thee an ark of wood,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. X, 1.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Tosefta Chullin
A menorah is not valid unless it is produced a solid block [of gold (see Menachot 28b:4)]. [If it is fashioned from] filings, it is invalid, and if it is made from other types of metal, it is valid. Trumpets are not valid unless they are fashioned from silver. [If] they are fashioned from [silver] filings, they are valid. [If] from other types of metal, they are invalid, and consequently it is said, "[What is] invalid in a menorah is valid in trumpets, [and what is] invalid in trumpets is valid in a menorah."
