Exegesis
The nominal clause ma’aseh hoshev {מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה חֹשֵֽׁב | ma·ʿă·śêh ḥō·šēḇ} ‘the work of a craftsman’ encapsulates the preceding actions as a unified artisan project. The repetition of the prepositional phrase creates rhythmic emphasis on the embedded materials, reflecting the methodical craftsmanship in English.
