4 To devise cunning works to work in gold and in silver and in brass ⚑

5 And in cutting of stones to set them and in carving of timber to work in all manner of workmanship ⚑

7 The tabernacle of the congregation and the ark of the testimony and the mercy seat that is thereupon and all the furniture of the tabernacle ⚑
