| 1 | Exodus 31:1–6 | Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship, to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze, to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft. Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you: |

They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning, so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work |
Exodus 35:10 Summary
This verse is saying that God wants the skilled workers to come and make the things He has told them to make, just like He instructed Moses in Exodus 25:1-9. It's like when you're building something with instructions, and you need to follow the instructions carefully to get it right. God is a God of order and detail, and He wants us to follow His instructions carefully too, as seen in Exodus 25:40 and Hebrews 8:5. By following God's instructions, we can create something beautiful and pleasing to Him, just like the craftsmen did when they built the tabernacle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of craftsman is being referred to in Exodus 35:10?
The verse is referring to skilled craftsmen who have been gifted by God to create the items needed for the tabernacle, as seen in Exodus 31:3-5 where God fills Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts.
Why is it important for the craftsmen to make everything that the LORD has commanded?
It is essential for the craftsmen to follow God's instructions carefully, just as Moses did in Exodus 40:16, to ensure that the tabernacle and its furnishings are made according to God's plan and purpose, which is to glorify Him and provide a place for His presence to dwell among the Israelites.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship in the Bible?
This verse highlights the idea of stewardship, where God gives people skills and resources to use for His glory, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30, where the master entrusts his servants with talents to invest and multiply, and in 1 Corinthians 4:2, where it is required of stewards to be faithful.
What can we learn from the fact that God commanded the craftsmen to make everything according to His specifications?
We learn that God is a God of order and detail, who cares about the specifics of how things are done, as seen in Exodus 25:40, where Moses is instructed to make the tabernacle and its furnishings according to the pattern shown him on the mountain, and in Hebrews 8:5, where the earthly tabernacle is a copy of the heavenly one.
Reflection Questions
- What are the skills and talents that God has given me, and how can I use them to serve Him and bring glory to His name?
- In what ways can I be more mindful of following God's instructions and commands in my life, just as the craftsmen were to follow His instructions in making the tabernacle?
- How can I cultivate a sense of stewardship and responsibility in my life, recognizing that everything I have and everything I am is a gift from God to be used for His purposes?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to pay closer attention to the details, just as God paid attention to the details of the tabernacle and its furnishings?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 35:10
And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 35:10
i.e. Every skilful artist; for though God had prescribed the things, yet it required wisdom and skill to execute what God commanded.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 35:10
(10-19) And every wise hearted among you.—The first appeal is to all; all may contribute something towards the materials of the sacred structure. But the second appeal is to some only. The “wise-hearted” alone can take part in the actual construction, and “make all that the Lord hath commanded.” On the expression “wise – hearted,” see Note on Exodus 28:3. It includes skill of various kinds and degrees, even that of poor women, who “did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen” (Exodus 35:25). In enumerating the things to be constructed, Moses follows, not the order of the revelations made to him, but what may be called the natural order: first, the Tabernacle as a whole; then its various parts (Exodus 35:11); after this, its contents—those of the Holy of Holies (Exodus 35:12), of the Holy Place (Exodus 35:13-15), and of the Court (Exodus 35:16-18); finally, the dress to be worn by those who conducted the services (Exodus 35:19). On the Tabernacle and its parts, see Exodus 26:1-37; on the Ark, the staves, and the mercy-seat, Exodus 25:10-15; on the “veil of the covering,” Exodus 26:31; on the table and the candlestick, Exodus 25:23-30; on the incense altar, Exodus 30:1-10; on the anointing oil, Exodus 30:23-25; on the sweet incense, Exodus 30:34-35; on the hanging for the door, Exodus 26:36; on the altar of burnt offering, Exodus 27:1-8; on the laver and its foot, Exodus 30:17-21; on the hangings of the Court, its pillars, sockets, pins, &c., Exodus 27:9-19; and on “the cloths of service,” Exodus 28:2-42. (On the true meaning of the expression, “cloths of service,” see Note on Exodus 31:10.)
Cambridge Bible on Exodus 35:10
10–19. All skilled workmen among the people invited to assist in the task of making the objects prescribed. There is nothing in chs. 25–31 corresponding to this invitation: Exodus 28:3 relates to the priestly vestments alone. The enumeration of things to be made begins with the Dwelling, and then proceeds in order from the Holy of holies to the Court, ending with the vestments for the priests.
Whedon's Commentary on Exodus 35:10
10. Wise hearted — See note on Exodus 28:3.
