1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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

3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

4To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

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

6And 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;

Exodus 31:1-6

Biblical Context

God names Bezaleel, fills him with the Spirit of God—wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and workmanship—to devise and execute all that He commands, with Aholiab and the wise-hearted aiding.

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold a scene where the I AM speaks your name and your craft into existence. Bezaleel is not a distant builder but a symbol of your own inner faculties awakened by the Spirit of God. When God says, I have called him by name, He reveals that your talents are not random gifts but a conscious design of your own consciousness. The spirit of God that fills Bezaleel—wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and workmanship—speaks to your inner vision: you are endowed with the right qualities at the right moment to imagine and execute the divine pattern in form. The instruction to devise, to work in gold, silver, brass, stones, timber, all manner of workmanship, is the inward command to bring forth the world your I AM is capable of enacting. And with him is Aholiab and the hearts of all who are wise-hearted, into whom wisdom is poured, so that the task becomes a unity of inner aspiration and outer act. See that the command is not merely external; it is your internal alignment—your mind tuned to divine craftsmanship, your imagination sculpting with precision and beauty.
