He is trained^(C) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue^(D) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.
