It says in Pirkei Avot 5:6 that God made the first pair of tongs immediately before creation.
Could not one have made tongs out of bone or wood wrapped in leather or made with a metal, such as gold, that can be "cold forged" and shaped without heat?
Why is it theologically important that noone could have made tongs without tongs and that God made the first pair?
