* Bezaleel.
31:1-5 35:30-35 36:1-3
The supernatural qualifications of Bezaleel and Aholiab
proved their divine appointment; yet they had an express
nomination to their work: they were also miraculously
qualified to instruct their assistants, as well as to
superintend them. Christ alone builds the Temple of the
Lord, and bears the glory; but ministers and private
Christians, under his direction and by his grace, may be
fellow-workers together with him. They who, in mean
employments, are diligent and humbly contented, are equally
acceptable with those who are engaged in more splendid
services. The women who spun the goats' hair were
wise-hearted, as well as the persons who presided over the
work of the tabernacle, or as Aaron, who burnt incense there,
because they did it heartily unto the Lord. Our wisdom and
duty consist in giving God the glory and use of our talents,
be they more or less; neither abusing nor burying them, but
occupying with them until our Lord shall come; being
satisfied that it is better to be a door-keeper in his
service, than the most mighty and renowned of the
ungodly.--Scott.
* all that the Lord.
