32 to labour skilfully in all works of cunning workmanship, to form the gold and the silver and the brass,
and to make skilful works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,
33 and to work in stone, and to fashion the wood, and to work in every work of wisdom.
in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skilful workmanship.
34 And [God] gave improvement in understanding both to him, and to Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan.
He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 And [God] filled them with wisdom, understanding [and] perception, to understand to work all the works of the sanctuary, and to weave the woven and embroidered work with scarlet and fine linen, to do all work of curious workmanship [and] embroidery.
He has filled them with wisdom of heart to work all kinds of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skilful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skilful works.
