Then the Lord said to Moses, “Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft! “And I have personally appointed Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make: Exodus Chapter 31 verses 1 to 6, NLT.
“The Lord has gifted Bezalel, Aholiab, and the other skilled
craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the
sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the Lord has
commanded.” So Moses summoned Bezalel and Aholiab and all the others who
were specially gifted by the Lord and were eager to get to work. Moses
gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for
the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional
gifts each morning. Finally the craftsmen who were working on the
sanctuary left their work. They went to Moses and reported, “The people
have given more than enough materials to complete the job the Lord has
commanded us to do!” So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent
throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the
sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred
offerings. Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole
project. Exodus Chapter 36 verses 1 to 7, NLT.
Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The Lord has
specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of
Judah. The Lord has
filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and
expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working
with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving and mounting
gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft. And the
Lord has given both him and Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their
skills to others. The Lord has given them special skills as engravers,
designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen
cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers. Exodus
Chapter 35 verses 30 to 35, NLT.
A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her
husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him
generously all her life long. She shops around for the best yarns and cottons, and
enjoys knitting and sewing. She’s like a
trading ship that sails to faraway places and brings back exotic surprises. She’s
up before dawn, preparing breakfast for her family and organizing her day. She
looks over a field and buys it, then, with money she’s put aside, plants a
garden. First thing in the morning, she dresses for work, rolls up her sleeves,
eager to get started. She senses
the worth of her work, is in no hurry to call it quits for the day. She’s
skilled in the crafts of home and hearth, diligent in homemaking. She’s
quick to assist anyone in need, reaches out to help the poor. She doesn’t worry
about her family when it snows; their winter clothes are all mended and ready
to wear. She makes her own clothing, and dresses in colorful linens and silks. Her
husband is greatly respected when he deliberates with the city fathers. She designs gowns and sells
them, brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops. Her clothes are
well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile. When
she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly. She
keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless
her; her husband joins in with words
of praise: “Many women have done wonderful things, but you’ve outclassed them
all!” Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and
praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. Give her everything she
deserves! Adorn her life with praises! Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31.
13 King Solomon sent to Tyre and brought Huram,[a] 14 whose mother was a widow from the tribe of Naphtali and whose father was from Tyre and a skilled craftsman in bronze. Huram was filled with wisdom, with understanding and with knowledge to do all kinds of bronze work. He came to King Solomon and did all the work assigned to him. 1st Kings Chapter 7 verses 13 to 14.
