And they gave the silver being prepared into the hand of those doing the work of those overseeing the house of Jehovah: and they will bring forth to the artificers of wood, and to the builders doing the house of Jehovah,

And they will not reckon with the men which they will give the silver into their hand to give to those doing the work, for they do in faith.
