"Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave [all manner of] gravings, [to be] with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide." — 2 Chronicles 2:7 (ASV)
Send now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron There being many things relating to the temple about to be built, and vessels to be put into it, which were to be made of those metals:
and in purple, and crimson, and blue ; used in making the vails for it, hung up in different places:
and that can skill to grave ; in wood or stone:
with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David did provide ; see (1 Chronicles 22:15) .
