However, the concept of being filled with the Spirit for a specific task can be related to the Greek word πνεῦμα (pneuma, Strong's G4151), meaning "spirit."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Bezalel is a proper noun used to identify a specific individual in the Hebrew Bible. The name means "in the shadow of God," suggesting divine protection or inspiration. Bezalel is most notably recognized as a skilled artisan chosen by God to oversee the construction of the Tabernacle and its sacred furnishings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Bezalel, from the tribe of Judah, is described in the Book of Exodus as a master craftsman endowed with the Spirit of God, possessing wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship (Exodus 31:1-5). His role was crucial during the Israelites' journey in the wilderness, as he was responsible for creating the Ark of the Covenant, the table for the showbread, the lampstand, and other sacred items. His work reflects the importance of artistry and skill in worship and the construction of sacred spaces in ancient Israelite culture.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
