In the context of the Bible, the term "framers" is not explicitly used in the Berean Standard Bible or other traditional translations. However, the concept of framing, in terms of constructing, planning, or devising, is present throughout the Scriptures. The idea of framing can be understood in both a literal and metaphorical sense, encompassing the creation of physical structures as well as the formulation of plans or schemes.

Biblical Context and Usage

1. Creation and Construction: The most foundational act of framing in the Bible is the creation of the world by God. In Hebrews 11:3 , it is written, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." Here, the divine act of framing the universe is highlighted, emphasizing God's sovereign power and wisdom in creation.

2. Building and Craftsmanship: The Bible frequently references the construction of physical structures, such as the tabernacle and the temple. In Exodus 31:1-5 , God appoints Bezalel and Oholiab as skilled craftsmen to frame the tabernacle: "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, and ability in all kinds of craftsmanship, to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft." This passage underscores the importance of divine inspiration and skill in the framing of sacred spaces.

3. Planning and Scheming: The concept of framing also extends to the devising of plans, whether righteous or wicked. In Proverbs 6:16-19 , the Lord lists things He detests, including "a heart that devises wicked schemes." This highlights the moral dimension of framing, where the intentions behind plans are subject to divine judgment.

4. Prophetic and Divine Plans: The Bible also speaks of God's sovereign plans, which are framed for the ultimate good of His people. Jeremiah 29:11 states, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." This assurance reflects the benevolent and purposeful framing of God's intentions for humanity.

5. Human Responsibility and Wisdom: The Scriptures encourage believers to frame their lives according to divine wisdom. In Proverbs 24:3-4 , it is written, "By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." This passage suggests that framing one's life and household on the foundation of wisdom leads to stability and blessing.

Theological Implications

The concept of framing in the Bible carries significant theological implications. It reflects the creative and orderly nature of God, who frames the universe with purpose and precision. It also underscores the responsibility of humans to align their plans and actions with divine wisdom and righteousness. The moral and ethical dimensions of framing are evident in the call to devise plans that honor God and promote justice and truth.

In summary, while the specific term "framers" may not appear in the biblical text, the underlying principles of framing—whether in creation, construction, or planning—are deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, revealing the character of God and the calling of His people.
