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

Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
