Bezalel, from the tribe of Judah, and Oholiab, from the tribe of Dan, represent the unity of Israel's tribes in this divine task. Their mention highlights the importance of God-given skills and talents in fulfilling His purposes.

It also reflects the biblical principle that God equips those He calls, as seen in the lives of figures like Moses and David.to know how to perform all the work The phrase indicates not just the possession of skill but the understanding and wisdom to apply it effectively.

It states, in brief, that Bezaleel and Aholiab, with the skilled workmen at their disposal, proceeded to the accomplishment of the work which Moses had committed to them, and effected it "according to all that the Lord had commanded." i.e., according to the instructions given to Moses in Mount Sinai, and recorded in Exodus 25-30. The entire section is little more than a repetition of those chapters, differing from them merely in recording as done that which had in them been ordered to be done. The minute exactness of the repetition is very remarkable, and seems intended to teach the important lesson, that acceptable obedience consists in a complete and exact observance of God's commandments in all respects down to the minutest point.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/36.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-3 and 8-38. - THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK, AND THE SUPERFLUOUS LIBERALITY OF THE PEOPLE - THE LATTER HAS TO BE RESTRAINED (vers. 3-7). Bezaleel and Aholiab felt that the time for action was now come. They at once addressed themselves to their task. Moses delivered into their hands all the various offerings which the people, rich and poor, had brought in (<a href="/exodus/35-21.htm">Exodus 35:21-29</a>); and skilled workmen were immediately called upon to shape it for the designed uses. The fact of the work being commenced did not stop the inflow of gifts. More and yet more continued to be brought "every morning" (ver. 3). At last it became clear that the supply had exceeded the demand; and the workmen reported so to Moses (vers. 4, 5), who thereupon commanded that the offerings should cease (ver. 6). The progress of the work is then reported in detail, and in the following order: - 1. The covering for the tabernacle (vers. 8-13); 2. The goats' hair covering for the tent above the tabernacle (vers. 14-18); 3. The outer coverings of rams' skins and seals' skins (ver. 19); . . . <a href="/commentaries/exodus/36-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>So Bezalel, בְצַלְאֵ֨ל (ḇə·ṣal·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1212.htm">Strong's 1212: </a> Bezalel -- 'in the shadow (protection) of El', two Israelites Oholiab, וְאָהֳלִיאָ֜ב (wə·’ā·ho·lî·’āḇ) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_171.htm">Strong's 171: </a> Oholiab -- 'father's tent', an assistant of Bezalel and every וְכֹ֣ל ׀ (wə·ḵōl) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every skilled חֲכַם־ (ḥă·ḵam-) Adjective - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2450.htm">Strong's 2450: </a> Wise person אִ֣ישׁ (’îš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person are to carry out וְעָשָׂה֩ (wə·‘ā·śāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make everything כָּל־ (kāl-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every commanded צִוָּ֖ה (ṣiw·wāh) Verb - Piel - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6680.htm">Strong's 6680: </a> To lay charge (upon), give charge (to), command, order by the LORD, יְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel [who] יְהוָ֜ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel has given נָתַ֨ן (nā·ṯan) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set them בָּהֵ֔מָּה (bā·hêm·māh) Preposition-b | Pronoun - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1992.htm">Strong's 1992: </a> They skill חָכְמָ֤ה (ḥāḵ·māh) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2451.htm">Strong's 2451: </a> Wisdom and understanding וּתְבוּנָה֙ (ū·ṯə·ḇū·nāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8394.htm">Strong's 8394: </a> Intelligence, an argument, caprice to know לָדַ֣עַת (lā·ḏa·‘aṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know how to perform לַעֲשֹׂ֔ת (la·‘ă·śōṯ) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make all לְכֹ֥ל (lə·ḵōl) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every the work מְלֶ֖אכֶת (mə·le·ḵeṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4399.htm">Strong's 4399: </a> Deputyship, ministry, employment, work, property of constructing עֲבֹדַ֣ת (‘ă·ḇō·ḏaṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5656.htm">Strong's 5656: </a> Work of any kind the sanctuary.” הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ (haq·qō·ḏeš) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6944.htm">Strong's 6944: </a> A sacred place, thing, sanctity <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/36-1.htm">Exodus 36:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/36-1.htm">OT Law: Exodus 36:1 Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every (Exo.
