Exodus 31:6

“And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, etc.] To be a partner with him, and to assist in the direction and oversight of the work of the tabernacle; which was done that there might appear to be a sufficiency in the direction, and that too much honour might not be given to one tribe; and it is observable, that as Solomon of the tribe of Judah was the builder of the temple, one of the tribe of Dan also was a principal artificer in it, (<140214>2 Chronicles 2:14) and it is no unusual thing for two persons to be joined together in matters of moment and importance, as Moses and Aaron, who were sent to Pharaoh for Israel’s dismission out of the land…”

“I have given with him Aholiab--He belonged to the tribe of Dan, one of the least influential and honorable in Israel; and here, too, we can trace the evidence of wise and paternal design, in choosing the colleague or assistant of Bezaleel from an inferior tribe (compare Co1 12:14-25; also Mar 6:7). all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom--At that period, when one spirit pervaded all Israel, it was not the man full of heavenly genius who presided over the work; but all who contributed their skill, experience, and labor, in rendering the smallest assistance, showed their piety and devotedness to the divine service. In like manner, it was at the commencement of the Christian Church (Act…”

“Exodus 35:30-35. This solemn call of Bezaleel and Aholiab is full of instruction. Their work was to be only that of handicraftsmen. Still it was Yahweh Himself who called them by name to their tasks, and the powers which they were now called upon to exercise in their respective crafts, were declared to have been given them by the Holy Spirit. Thus is every effort of skill, every sort of well-ordered labor, when directed to a right end, brought into the very highest sphere of association. There appears to be sufficient reason for identifying Hur, the grandfather of Bezaleel, with the Hur who assisted Aaron in supporting the hands of Moses during the battle with Amalek at Rephidim Exodus…”

“31:6 God commanded remarkable things, but he also provided gifted craftsmen who would be able to carry out all those instructions—much as Augustine prayed, “Give what you command, and command what you will” (Augustine, Confessions 10.29).”

“I have given: Exo 4:14, Exo 4:15, Exo 6:26; Ezr 5:1, Ezr 5:2; Ecc 4:9-12; Mat 10:2-4; Luk 10:1; Act 13:2; Act 15:39, Act 15:40 Aholiab: Exo 35:34, Exo 36:1 wise hearted: Exo 28:3, Exo 35:10, Exo 35:25, Exo 35:26, Exo 35:35, Exo 36:1, Exo 36:8; Kg1 3:12; Pro 2:6, Pro 2:7; Jam 1:5, Jam 1:16, Jam 1:17 that they: Exod. 37:1-38:31; Num. 4:1-49; 1Kings 6:1-8:66; 2Chr. 3:1-4:22; Ezek. 43:1-48:35 Exodus 31:7”

“There were associated with Bezaleel as assistants, Oholiab, the son of Achisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and other men endowed with understanding, whom God had filled with wisdom for the execution of His work. According to Exo 38:23, Oholiab was both faber, a master in metal, stone, and wood work, and also an artistic weaver of colours. In Exo 38:7-11, the words to be executed, which have been minutely described in ch. 24-30, are mentioned singly once more; and, in addition to these, we find in Exo 31:10 השּׂרד בּגדי mentioned, along with, or rather before, the holy dress of Aaron. This is the case also in Exo 35:19 and Exo 39:41, where there is also the additional clause, "to serve (שׁרת…”
