Exegesis
The active participle chotzvim {חֹצְבִים | ḥōṣvīm} ‘stonecutters’ names the agents, with the infinitive laḥṣōv {לַחְצוֹב֙ | laḥṣōv} ‘to quarry’ expressing purpose, and the construct avnei gazit {אַבְנֵ֣י גָזִית | ʾavne gāzīt} ‘stones of hewn’ serving as the object.
In context — 1 Chronicles 22:2
And David commanded that all the foreigners in the land of Israel be gathered, and he appointed stonecutters to cut hewn stones for building the house of God .
