11 They gave the money which was weighed out into the hands of those who did the work, who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and they paid it out to the carpenters * and the builders who worked on the house of the LORD;
12 and 1to the masons and the stonecutters *, and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair the damages to the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
13 But 2there were not made for the house of the LORD 3silver cups, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver from the money which was brought into the house of the LORD;
14 for they gave that to those who did the work, and with it they repaired the house of the LORD.
