Exodus 31:3 (King James Version)
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
- filled
- 35:31 1 Kings 3:9 ; 7:14 Isaiah 28:6 Isaiah 28:26 ; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11
- the spirit of God
- {Ruach Elohim,} rather, "a spirit of God;" which is a usual Hebraism, signifying "an excellent spirit;" or, as we should now say, "a distinguished genius for the work he had to perform." No man, by course of reading or study, ever acquired a genius of any kind: we call it natural, and say it was born with the man: Moses teaches us to consider it divine
- The prophet Isaiah, (ch. 28:24-29, ) pointedly refers to this sort of teaching as coming from God, even in the most common and less difficult arts of life. Dark as the heathens were, yet they acknowledged that all talents and the seeds of all arts came from God.
