A person who used bronze and copper to make tools, implements, and ornaments (Exodus 26:11, 37; 27:2–10; Joshua 6:19, 24; 1 Samuel 17:5–6; 2 Samuel 8:8). The term “coppersmith” is only used in the New Testament (2 Timothy 4:14). However, the occupation was important throughout the history of the Bible.
