⁷ “Now I would like you to send me a man who is skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. He must know how to work with purple, red, and blue cloth. He will work here in Judah and Jerusalem with the craftsmen my father chose. ⁸ Also send me wood from cedar trees, pine trees, and algum trees^[a] from the country of Lebanon.
