Thank you for that. I find it difficult to picture women hammering out gold and copper at a forge for the temple utensils too.
But please do share this with annalex in case he, she, they miss it.

To: count-your-change

Actual utensils were carried over from the Tabernacle of the ‘Old Testament’ and were fashioned by Betzalel (I don’t know what name is used in English Bibles), or at least supervised by him.

Actually, most ‘consumables’ in the Temple ended up in a known family. For example, the Garmu family baked the Temple bread and the Avtinut family made incense, etc.

I’m under the impression that most was done by the males, but possibly wives and virgin (i.e., unmarried) daughters assisted. If that was their livelihood, it would certainly make sense.

I have not learned details except in the case of the incense, and that only because colorful archaeologist Vendyl Jones apparently found a silo full of the stuff.
