| 32to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, | 32to make designs for working in gold and in silver and in bronze, |
| 33to cut gemstones for mounting, and to carve wood for work in every kind of artistic craft. | 33and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work. |
| 34He has also given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. | 34"He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. |
| 35He has filled them with skill to do all the work of a gem cutter; a designer; an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen; and a weaver. They can do every kind of craft and design artistic designs. | 35"He has filled them with skill to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in blue and in purple and in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs. |
