‏ Exodus 35:34

Moses then informed the people that God had called Bezaleel and Aholiab as master-builders, to complete the building and all the work connected with it, and had not only endowed them with His Spirit, that they might draw the plans for the different works and carry them out, but “had put it into his (Bezaleel’s) heart to teach” (Exo 35:34), that is to say, had qualified him to instruct labourers to prepare the different articles under his supervision and guidance. “He and Aholiab” (Exo 35:34) are in apposition to “his heart:” into his and Aholiab’s heart (see Ges. §121, 3; Ewald, §311 a). The concluding words in Exo 35:35 are in apposition to אתם (them): “them hath He filled with wisdom...as performers of every kind of work and inventors of designs,” i.e., that they may make every kind of work and may invent designs. In Exo 36:1, ועשׂה with vav consec. is dependent upon what precedes, and signifies either, “and so will make,” or, so that he will make (see Ewald, §342 b). The idea is this, “Bezaleel, Aholiab, and the other men who understand, into whom Jehovah has infused (בּ נתן) wisdom and understanding, that they may know how to do, shall do every work for the holy service (worship) with regard to (ל as in Exo 28:38, etc.) all that Jehovah has commanded.”
