⁷ Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave [all manner of] engravings, [to be] with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

³ and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

⁴ to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

⁵ and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

¹⁵ There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work:

¹⁶ of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and Yahweh be with you.

¹³ Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of Huram my father's,

¹⁴ the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any manner of engraving, and to devise any device; that there may be [a place] appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

¹⁴ He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill, to work all works in brass. He came to king Solomon, and performed all his work.

²⁶ For his God does instruct him aright, [and] does teach him.

²⁹ This also comes forth from Yahweh of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in wisdom.

¹⁰ Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
