The Bible provides numerous references to both the positive and negative aspects of craft, illustrating its significance in ancient society and its moral implications.<br><br><b>Artisan Craftsmanship</b><br><br>The Bible frequently highlights the importance of skilled craftsmanship in the construction of sacred spaces and objects. In the Old Testament, God commands Moses to build the Tabernacle, a task that requires the expertise of skilled artisans. <a href="/exodus/31.htm">Exodus 31:1-5</a> states, "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in all kinds of crafts—to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.'"<br><br>This passage underscores the divine inspiration and empowerment given to craftsmen, emphasizing that their skills are gifts from God to be used for His glory. The construction of the Temple under King Solomon also involved numerous craftsmen, as described in <a href="/bsb/1_kings/7.htm">1 Kings 7</a>, where Hiram of Tyre is noted for his expertise in bronze work.<br><br><b>Craft in Idolatry</b><br><br>Conversely, the Bible also warns against the misuse of craft in the creation of idols. <a href="/isaiah/44-12.htm">Isaiah 44:12-17</a> describes the futility and folly of idol-making, where craftsmen use their skills to fashion gods that cannot see, hear, or save. This passage serves as a critique of idolatry, highlighting the contrast between the living God and lifeless idols made by human hands.<br><br><b>Craftiness and Deceit</b><br><br>The term "craft" also appears in the context of cunning and deceit. In <a href="/genesis/3.htm">Genesis 3:1</a> , the serpent is described as "more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made." This craftiness leads to the deception of Eve and the subsequent fall of humanity. The New Testament echoes this theme, warning believers to be wary of deceitful schemes. <a href="/ephesians/4-14.htm">Ephesians 4:14</a> cautions, "Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming."<br><br><b>Wisdom and Craft</b><br><br>While craftiness can have negative connotations, the Bible also associates wisdom with skillful living. <a href="/bsb/proverbs/8.htm">Proverbs 8</a> personifies wisdom as a master craftsman, present with God during the creation of the world. This portrayal elevates the concept of craft to a divine level, suggesting that true wisdom involves the skillful application of knowledge in accordance with God's will.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The biblical perspective on craft is multifaceted, recognizing both the God-given talents of artisans and the potential for craftiness to lead to sin. Whether in the context of building sacred spaces or navigating the moral complexities of life, the Bible calls for the use of craft in ways that honor God and reflect His wisdom.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

In <a href="/luke/20-23.htm">Luke 20:23</a>, Jesus perceives "the craftiness" of His adversaries, i.e. the complicated network which they have laid to ensnare Him. The art with which a plot is concealed, and its direction to the ruin of others, are elements that enter into the meaning. Heinrici on <a href="/1_corinthians/3-19.htm">1 Corinthians 3:19</a> illustrates from Plato the distinction between craftiness and wisdom. There is a touch of humor in <a href="/2_corinthians/12-16.htm">2 Corinthians 12:16</a>, when Paul speaks of his conduct toward the Corinthians as having been "crafty."<br><br>H. E.
