¹⁴ “Notice I have taken great pains to provide for the house of the Lord—3,775 tons of gold, 37,750 tons of silver,^[a](A) and bronze and iron that can’t be weighed because there is so much of it. I have also provided timber and stone, but you will need to add more to them. ¹⁵ You also have many workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and people skilled in every kind of work ¹⁶ in gold, silver, bronze, and iron—beyond number. Now begin the work, and may the Lord be with you.”^(B)

²¹ Here are the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of God’s house.^(A) Every willing person of any skill^(B) will be at your disposal for the work, and the leaders and all the people are at your every command.”
