  1. 14 The construction uses the verbal hendiadys: מַרְבִּים לְהָבִיא (marbim léhavi’) is the Hiphil participle followed (after the subject) by the Hiphil infinitive construct. It would read, “they multiply … to bring,” meaning, “they bring more” than is needed.
  2. 15 Heb “for the service” (so , ).
  3. 16 The last clause is merely the infinitive with an object—“to do it.” It clearly means the skilled workers are to do it.
