¹⁴ “With great difficulty I have prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents^[a] of gold and one million^[b] talents of silver as well as innumerable quantities of bronze and iron, beyond measure. I have also prepared timber and stone to which you may add even more. ¹⁵ Moreover you have an abundance of workers: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and men skilled in all kinds of work, ¹⁶ craftsmen in gold, silver, bronze, and iron without number. Rise up and work, and may the Lord be with you.”
