Rashi
And the craftsman strengthened [i.e.,] the one who molds the idol. the smith who plates it with gold. the one who smoothes with the hammer The final stage, when he taps lightly to flatten out the work. the one who wields the sledge hammer He is the one who commences on it when it is a block, and beats it with all his might. he says of the cement, “It is good,” Heb. דֶּבֶק. He alludes to those who seek suitable ground upon which to adhere iron plates. דֶּבֶק is soudure in French, weld. and he strengthened it The idol. with nails that it should not move All of them will strengthen each other.
