Translation Issues in This Chapter

* The first verse of this chapter goes with the last chapter. * Most of this chapter exactly quotes [chapter 26](../26/01.md) with a shift from instruction to past narrative form on the verbs and a few other minor changes; some are Hebrew word order that will be invisible here. Be sure to consult your previous work for consistency. * Throughout [verses 8–38](../36/08.md) the word he is used. This is a generic noun referring to any of the team of skilled craftsmen. You could also change it to “they” if that would be understood better in your language. (See: figs-genericnoun and figs-123person)
