Context of Exodus 35:32
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, ‘Listen! The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and the grandson of Hur. He belongs to the tribe of Judah. 31The Lord has filled him with his Spirit so that he has special skills. He knows how to make many kinds of things. He can draw pictures of beautiful things that he wants to make. He can use gold, silver and bronze to make them. 33He knows how to cut valuable stones and make them look beautiful. He knows how to cut wood into different shapes. He is very clever at all kinds of beautiful work. 34The Lord has chosen Oholiab to help Bezalel. Oholiab is the son of Ahisamach. He belongs to the tribe of Dan. Bezalel and Oholiab can teach other people how to make things.
