Technites denotes a maker or skilled worker, used of tradesmen and of God in the description of a founded city.

The attested uses chiefly concern people engaged in skilled work or a trade; a single occurrence places the term in the clause describing God in relation to a city with foundations.

1. Skilled workers in public or commercial settings · dominant

   In Acts 19:24, the dative plural occurs in the clause about a silversmith furnishing workers with work; the APB renders the group as “the craftsmen.” In Acts 19:38, the nominative plural names the craftsmen associated with Demetrius, while Revelation 18:22 speaks of every person of every skill no longer being found; the APB renders that clause “every craftsman of every skill.”

2. A maker named in relation to a city · occasional

   In Hebrews 11:10, the nominative singular occurs in the clause concerning the city with foundations and God. The APB renders the clause “whose designer and builder is God,” but its whole-verse wording does not isolate the contribution of the individual Greek term.

   Hebrews 11:10

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “craftsmen” and “craftsman” in the passages about human workers. In Hebrews 11:10 it renders the larger clause with “designer and builder,” without marking a one-to-one English equivalent for the term.
