Exodus 35:35 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 35:35

Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart
Or wisdom in their heart, a large measure of it, signified by their being filled with it; and whatever wisdom men have, whether in things natural, civil, moral, or spiritual, it is all of God: this was

to work all manner of work, of the engraver;
which the setting of stones in the ephod or breastplate required:

and of the cunning workman;
and such an one was necessary for the making the curtains of the tabernacle, the vail between the holy and the holy of holies, and the ephod and breastplate of the high priest:

and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in
fine linen;
in which there were various works of things belonging to the tabernacle, and persons employed in it:

and of the weaver;
both in linen and woollen, for the curtains and hangings of the tabernacle, and for the priests' garments:

[even] of those that do any work, and of those that devise cunning
work:
whether in the above things, or in any sort of curious work, in gold, silver, brass, wood, or stone.
