Exodus 36:1

1 Toen wrocht Bezaleel en Aholiab, en alle man, die wijs van hart was, in denwelken de HEERE wijsheid en verstand gegeven had, om te weten, hoe zij maken zouden alle werk ten dienste des heiligdoms naar alles, dat de HEERE geboden had.

Exodus 36:1 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 36:1

Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted
man
Or every ingenious artificer under them: when they began to work is not precisely said, but it is very probable they set about it directly, as soon as they were furnished with materials for it, nor is it said where they wrought; it is very likely there was a particular place, where they were ranged according to their respective manufactories, and where they did their work under the inspection, and by the direction of these two men:

in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work
all manner of work, for the service of the sanctuary, according to
all that the Lord had commanded;
for as all the wisdom and understanding, which Bezaleel and Aholiab had for the building of the tabernacle, and making everything appertaining to it, and for instructing others to do the same, were from the Lord; so all the wisdom, understanding, and capacity in the artificers to learn of them, and work according to their directions, were also from him; who in a very extraordinary manner enlarged their faculties, and increased their natural abilities, to take in what was suggested to them, and perform their work exactly agreeable thereunto.

Exodus 36:1 In-Context

1 Toen wrocht Bezaleel en Aholiab, en alle man, die wijs van hart was, in denwelken de HEERE wijsheid en verstand gegeven had, om te weten, hoe zij maken zouden alle werk ten dienste des heiligdoms naar alles, dat de HEERE geboden had.

2 Want Mozes had geroepen Bezaleel en Aholiab, en alle man, die wijs van hart was, in wiens hart God wijsheid gegeven had, al wiens hart hem bewogen had, dat hij toetrad tot het werk, om dat te maken.

3 Zij dan namen van voor het aangezicht van Mozes het ganse hefoffer, hetwelk de kinderen Israels gebracht hadden, tot het werk van den dienst des heiligdoms, om dat te maken; doch zij brachten tot hem nog allen morgen vrijwillig offer.

4 Derhalve kwamen alle wijzen, die al het werk des heiligdoms maakten, ieder man van zijn werk, hetwelk zij maakten;

5 En zij spraken tot Mozes, zeggende: Het volk brengt te veel, meer dan genoeg is ten dienste des werks, hetwelk de HEERE te maken geboden heeft.
