Exodus 35
1. The Sabbath
4. The free gifts for the tabernacle
20. The readiness of the people to offer
30. Bezaleel and Aholiab are called to the work














And He has given
This phrase emphasizes the divine origin of the skills and abilities bestowed upon Bezalel and Oholiab. The Hebrew root for "given" is "נָתַן" (natan), which means to bestow or grant. This highlights the sovereignty of God in equipping individuals for His purposes. It is a reminder that all talents and gifts are ultimately from God, and they are given for His glory and the edification of His people.

both him and Oholiab
The mention of both Bezalel and Oholiab underscores the collaborative nature of the work God has called them to. Bezalel, from the tribe of Judah, and Oholiab, from the tribe of Dan, represent unity among the tribes of Israel. This partnership signifies the importance of working together in the body of Christ, where diverse gifts and backgrounds come together to fulfill God's purposes.

son of Ahisamach
The inclusion of Oholiab's lineage, "son of Ahisamach," provides a historical and familial context. In ancient Israel, lineage was significant, often indicating one's heritage and role within the community. Ahisamach's name means "my brother supports," which could symbolize the supportive role Oholiab plays alongside Bezalel. This highlights the importance of family and community in nurturing and recognizing God-given talents.

of the tribe of Dan
The tribe of Dan was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its craftsmanship and skills in various trades. This detail emphasizes that God calls and equips people from all walks of life and backgrounds. It serves as a reminder that no matter one's origin or status, God can use anyone for His divine purposes.

the ability to teach others
The ability to teach is a significant gift, as it involves not only possessing knowledge and skill but also the capacity to impart it to others. The Hebrew word for "teach" is "יָרָה" (yarah), which can also mean to instruct or direct. This highlights the role of mentorship and discipleship in the community of faith. Teaching is a means of multiplying one's gifts and ensuring that the knowledge and skills necessary for worship and service to God are passed down through generations. It underscores the importance of investing in others and equipping them for their roles in God's kingdom.

Verse 34. - And he hath put in his heart that he may teach. Rather, "And he hath put it into his heart to teach." He (God) has given him the gift of being able to teach others, and so has enabled him to form a body of workmen competent to carry out his conceptions. Both he and Aholiab. God has given the same gift to Aholiab. On the special talent of Aholiab, see the comment upon Exodus 31:6.
