Exodus 31:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I have given with him Aholiab. He belonged to the tribe of Dan, one of the least influential add honourable in Israel; and here, too, we can trace the evidence of wise and paternal design in choosing the colleague or assistant of Bezaleel from an inferior tribe (cf. 1 Corinthians 12:14-25; also Mark 6:7).

All that are wise-hearted. At that period, when one spirit pervaded all Israel, it was not the man full of heavenly genius who presided over the work, but all who contributed their skill, experience, and labour in rendering the smallest assistance, that showed their piety and devotedness to the divine service. In like manner it was at the commencement of the Christian Church (Acts 6:5; Acts 18:2).
