There are many references throughout the Bible that assume a degree of technology and technique: that is, the use of tools and the processes for their manufacture and use. Common examples include iron, bronze, gold, silver, refine, metal, tool, instrument, wheel, cook, wine, craft, build, cloth, city, shield, arrow, sword, weapon spear, chariot, boat, ship. Each of these imply that people created technologies to augment their abilities, to control the environment, to improve their lives, to communicate, etc.

The following table collates more significant references to technology:
