Exo 35:34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. Exo 35:35 “He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen, and of the weaver–those who do every work and those who design artistic works.
Our God is very creative. He made all that is seen with our naked eyes and all that cannot be seen. Lastly, he artistically created you and me . The creative God made you in his own image. You are his creature hence creative in nature. If all of us applied the creativity skill deposited in us by the creative God, we will have the best homes, best meals, the best churches, the best offices and the best of everything!
Bezalel and Aholiab were very gifted artisans who God had put wisdom and understanding in matters to do with all manner of work in the sanctuary. They were gifted / skilled in matters to do with the work of engraving, designing, tapestry, linen etc God also put in their hearts the ability to teach others to become skilled workmen like them.
