4 He's a master artist familiar with gold, silver, and bronze.

5 He knows how to cut and set stones and how to work with wood. He's an expert in all trades.

6 Also, I have appointed Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have given every craftsman the skill necessary to make everything I have commanded you:

8 the table and the dishes, the pure [gold] lamp stand and all its utensils, the altar for incense,

9 the altar for burnt offerings and all its accessories, the basin with its stand,
