1 Bezaleel and Aholiah are appointed and qualified for the work of the tabernacle
12 The observation of the sabbath is again commanded
18 Moses receives the two tables

2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

I have Ex 33:12,17 35:30 36:1 Isa 45:3,4 Mr 3:16-19 Joh 3:27

Bezaleel Ex 37:1 1Ch 2:19,20

3 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 Ex 35:31 1Ki 3:9 7:14 Isa 28:6,26 1Co 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.

Ex 25:32-35 26:1 1Ki 7:14 2Ch 2:7,13,14

5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Ex 28:9-21

6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;

12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

and was refreshed. God, in condescension to human weakness, applies to himself here what belongs to man; though it may refer to the delight and satisfaction with which he contemplated the completion of all his works and pronounced them very good Ge 1:31 Job 38:7 Ps 104:31 Jer 32:41

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
