15 Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all men who are skillful in every manner of work:

16 of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and the LORD be with you.

18 Isn't the LORD your God with you? and hasn't he given you rest on every side? for he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
