Concise Bible Dictionary
:
A general name for skilled artizans, whether in metal, stone, or
wood
.
Tubal
-
cain
was the first named as an artificer in
brass
and
iron
.
Jubal
was the
father
of all such as handled, or invented and made, the
harp
and the
organ
. Cain also built a city (
Gen. 4:17, 21-22
17
And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. (Genesis 4:17)
21
And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
22
And Zillah, she also bare Tubal-cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. (Genesis 4:21‑22)
). In the above we see the application of the arts by
man
at a distance from
God
to promote their own welfare in independence of God. In after
times
the
spirit
of wisdom was given to
Bezaleel
for the work of
the tabernacle
in “all manner of workmanship” (
Ex. 35:31
31
And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; (Exodus 35:31)
: Compare also
1 Chron. 29:5
5
The gold for things of gold, and the silver for things of silver, and for all manner of work to be made by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord? (1 Chronicles 29:5)
;
2 Chron. 34:11
11
Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed. (2 Chronicles 34:11)
). It would seem that the Jews never afterward lost this skill, as the remains of the walls of
Jerusalem
indicate.
Nebuchadnezzar
carried off all the craftsmen (same word as artificers) and smiths from Jerusalem (
2 Kings 24:14
14
And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valor, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land. (2 Kings 24:14)
), and he may have made use of their skill to adorn
Babylon
.
