TSK · Exodus 32:3

When he gave back to his mother the eleven hundred pieces of silver, his mother said,“I solemnly dedicate this silver to the LORD. It will be for my son’s benefit. We will use it to make a carved image and a metal image.”

A craftsman casts an idol; a metalsmith overlays it with gold and forges silver chains for it.

Hammered-out silver is brought from Tarshish and gold is brought from Ufaz to cover those idols. They are the handiwork of carpenters and goldsmiths. They are clothed in blue and purple clothes. They are all made by skillful workers.
