¹ tn Heb “wisdom of heart,” which means that they were skilled and could make all the right choices about the work.

² tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) plus the preposition “to” – “to call to” someone means “to summon” that person.

³ tn Here there is a slight change: “in whose heart Yahweh had put skill.”

⁴ tn Or “whose heart was willing.”

⁵ sn The verb means more than “approach” or “draw near”; קָרַב (qarav) is the word used for drawing near the altar as in bringing an offering. Here they offer themselves, their talents and their time.

⁶ tn Heb “a man, a man from his work”; or “each one from his work.”
