And Shelomoh counted seventy thousand men burden-bearers and eighty thousand men stone-cutters in the mountain and overseers over them three thousand and six hundred.

And Shelomoh sent to Ḥuram king of Tsore saying, As you did with David my father, and you sent to him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in.

Behold, I am building a house for the name of יהוה my Elohim, to dedicate it to Him, to burn incense before Him, and the continual arrangement, and burnt offerings for the morning and for the evening, for the Sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed times of יהוה our Elohim, forever, this is upon Yisra'el.

And the house which I am building is great, because great is our Elohim above all gods.

And who is able to strengthen to build for Him a house? For the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain Him. And who am I that I should build for Him a house? Except to burn incense before Him.

And now, send to me a man skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows to engrave engravings with the skilled men who are with me in Yehudah and in Yerushalayim, whom David my father prepared.

And send to me trees of cedars, cypresses, and algum trees from the Lebanon, because I know that your servants know to cut trees of Lebanon, and behold, my servants are with your servants.

And to prepare for me wood in abundance, because the house which I am building is great and wonderful.

And behold, to the woodcutters, to the cutters of the wood, I have given wheat, measures, for your servants, twenty thousand measures, and barley, twenty thousand measures, and wine, twenty thousand measures, and oil, twenty thousand measures.

And Ḥuram king of Tsore said in writing, and sent to Shelomoh, Because of the love of יהוה to His people, He has given you over them as king.

And Ḥuram said, Blessed is יהוה Elohim of Yisra'el, who made the heavens and the earth, who gave to David the king a wise son, knowing understanding and discernment, who will build a house for יהוה and a house for his kingdom.

And now, I have sent a man skilled, knowing understanding, to Ḥuram my father.

The son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tsore, knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave every engraving, and to devise every device, which will be given to him with your skilled men, and the skilled men of my Adonai David your father.

And now, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my Adonai said, send to his servants.

And we will cut trees from the Lebanon, according to all your need, and we will bring them to you as rafts by sea to Yaffo, and you will bring them up to Yerushalayim.

And Shelomoh counted all the sojourners who were in the land of Yisra'el, after the census which David his father had taken, and they were found one hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

And he made from them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to work the people.
