ביטוי (אנגלית)

If he said to him: Remove the chip from between your eyes, he replied: Remove the beam from between your eyes

הגדרה (אנגלית)

Figuratively: A situation of general corruption in which no one is worthy of reproaching another for a bad deed, for each person himself suffers from another moral flaw. Literally: If one says to his friend to fix a certain flaw in himself ('to remove the chip of wood from his eye'), his friend replies: You should fix an even greater flaw in yourself ('a beam of wood').

("It was taught: Rabbi Tarfon said, I wonder if there is anyone in this generation who accepts rebuke. If one says to him, Remove the chip from between your eyes, he replies, Remove the beam from between your eyes. Rabbi Elazar ben Azaria said: I wonder if there is anyone in this generation who knows how to rebuke." - Arachin 16b)
