1 Chronicles 22:14-16
Contemporary English Version
14 I have all the supplies you'll need to build the temple: You have more than 3,000 tons of gold and over 34,000 tons of silver. There's also plenty of wood, stone, and more bronze and iron than I could weigh. Ask for anything else you need. 15 I have also assigned men who will cut and lay the stone. And there are carpenters and people who are experts in working with 16 gold, silver, bronze, and iron. You have plenty of workers to do the job. Now get started, and I pray that the Lord will be with you in your work.

14 “I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the Lord a hundred thousand talents[a] of gold, a million talents[b] of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them.(A) 15 You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters,(B) as well as those skilled in every kind of work 16 in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen(C) beyond number. Now begin the work, and the Lord be with you.”
