'Metal worker' in the Bible
So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.
Now no blacksmith (metal-worker) could be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.”
To an idol?—something that a smelter casts,and a metalworker plates with goldand makes silver welds for it?
The craftsman encourages the metalworker;the one who flattens with the hammersupports the one who strikes the anvil,saying of the soldering, “It is good.”He fastens it with nails so that it will not fall over.
Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will pay him back for what he did.
