Near them was working Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, the gold-worker. And by him was Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, building up Jerusalem as far as the wide wall.

And between the way up to the angle and the Sheep Gate, the gold-workers and the traders made good the wall.

As for an idol, a craftsman casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it.

The craftsman encourages the goldsmith. He who smooths with the hammer spurs on him who strikes the anvil. He says of the welding: It is good. He nails down the idol so it will not topple.

Some pour out gold from their bags and weigh out silver on the scales. They hire a goldsmith to make it into a god. They bow down and worship it.
