Bezaleel and Aholiab are called to the work Then Moses said to the Israelites Moses, as the leader and prophet of Israel, often communicated God's instructions to the people. This phrase indicates a formal announcement, emphasizing the importance of the message. The Israelites, recently freed from Egyptian bondage, are in the wilderness, receiving divine instructions for building the Tabernacle, a central place of worship. See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to lead His people out of Egypt and through the wilderness. He serves as the mediator between God and the Israelites. 2. Bezalel A skilled craftsman chosen by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle. His name means "in the shadow of God," indicating divine protection and guidance. 3. Uri The father of Bezalel, mentioned to establish Bezalel's lineage and connection to the tribe of Judah. 4. Hur The grandfather of Bezalel, who is also noted in the Bible as a leader who supported Moses during the battle against the Amalekites. 5. Tribe of Judah One of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its leadership and prominence, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would come. Teaching Points Divine Calling and PurposeGod calls individuals by name for specific tasks. Just as Bezalel was chosen for his craftsmanship, each believer has a unique role in God's kingdom. Empowerment by the Holy Spirit Bezalel's skills were not just natural talents but were enhanced by the Spirit of God. Believers today are similarly empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill their God-given purposes. Importance of Heritage and Legacy Bezalel's lineage from the tribe of Judah underscores the importance of heritage in God's plan. Our spiritual heritage in Christ is vital for understanding our identity and purpose. Obedience and Availability Bezalel's willingness to serve as God directed is a model for believers. God desires our obedience and availability to use the gifts He has given us. Community and Collaboration The construction of the Tabernacle was a community effort. Similarly, the body of Christ functions best when each member contributes their gifts for the common good. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 35(Exodus 35) How did recently freed slaves, presumably untrained, develop the advanced craftsmanship needed for building such elaborate sanctuary items? Who was Hur in the Bible? Exodus 37:17–24: Could a single gold talent realistically be fashioned into a single lampstand with six branches and intricate decorations as described? (Exodus 35) Is there any concrete historical or archeological evidence to verify that such a grand construction project occurred in the Sinai wilderness?BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB SET OVER THE WORK. (30-35) This passage is the sequel to Exodus 31:1-6, where Bezaleel and Aholiab were designated for their respective offices, and follows closely the order, and even the wording, of that passage. The verbal resemblance is even greater in the original than in the Authorised Version. The only additions made are in Exodus 35:34-35. (34) He hath put in his heart that he may teach.--It was essential that the two master-craftsmen should be able to instruct their subordinates, to whom the actual accomplishment of the works which they designed had to be committed. God specially qualified them to act as instructors. Both he and Aholiab.--Aholiab, though subordinate to Bezaleel, was the director of his own department, that of weaving and embroidery (Exodus 38:23), and had to instruct in it as Bezaleel had in his. (35) Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart.--See Notes 1 and 2 on Exodus 28:3; and comp. Exodus 31:3. . . . Verses 30-35. - THE APPOINTMENT OF BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB TO SUPERINTEND THE WORK. Though, in some real sense, "learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians," still Moses was probably devoid of the technical knowledge requisite for a "superintendent of the works" on the present occasion. At any rate, his other duties imperatively required that he should decline to undertake, in addition to them, so onerous an office. And God had told him whom it would be best for him to set over the work (Exodus 31:1-6). Accordingly, he now made known to the people that the construction of the tabernacle and its appurtenances would be committed to two men - Bezaleel, the son of Uri, as principal, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, as his assist-ant - who would "teach" those under them what they were to do (ver. 34). Verse 30. - The Lord hath called, etc See Exodus 31:2: - "I have called by name Bezaleel," etc. Of the tribe of Judah. The descent of Bezaleel from Judah has been already traced.
