14“I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD a hundred thousand talents That is, about 3,750 tons or about 3,400 metric tons of gold, a million talents That is, about 37,500 tons or about 34,000 metric tons of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone. And you may add to them.
15You have many workers: stonecutters, masons and carpenters, as well as those skilled in every kind of work
16in gold and silver, bronze and iron—craftsmen beyond number. Now begin the work, and the LORD be with you.”
