God took special care to provide the children of Israel with qualified leaders for the construction of the Tabernacle of Meeting. He called Bezaleel, supplying him with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and His Spirit, along with the ability to teach, so that Bezaleel could provide the necessary instruction and leadership to the other craftsmen. God also appointed Aholiab of the tribe of Dan to assist Bezaleel, serving as a lieutenant to lead alongside him. Just as God provided Bezaleel and Aholiab to guide the physical building of the Tabernacle, He has supplied leaders today, filled with His Spirit, to aid in the spiritual work of building His church.

In the construction of the Tabernacle under Moses, God empowered specific individuals with extraordinary artistry through His Spirit. Bezaleel and Aholiab, along with other workmen, were gifted with skills beyond ordinary human capability, an invisible internal power manifesting in their craftsmanship for physical purposes. This divine enablement allowed them to build a beautiful structure that served as a type, reflecting the greater spiritual work accomplished through the gifts given to the church by the same Spirit for the building of the living Temple of God.

God personally appointed Bezaleel and Aholiab, calling them by name to carry out a significant responsibility on His behalf for Israel. He endowed them with wisdom, which in this context means skill, akin to strength of capacity, expanding their minds to oversee and teach others while also performing tasks themselves. Additionally, God granted them understanding, or discernment, enabling them to arrange and connect various components in constructing the tabernacle. He increased their knowledge, providing a particular acquaintance with their craft, and inspired inventiveness in cunning works, allowing them to design necessary tools to execute His design. Beyond their natural abilities, God equipped Bezaleel and Aholiab, along with all who worked on the tabernacle, with extraordinary gifts to fulfill His purpose. Just as He supplied the materials needed in the wilderness, God stirred their hearts to undertake this work, demonstrating His active role in enabling them to carry out His will. These gifts, paralleling those given to the church, are attributes of His mind and Spirit, communicated to empower His servants to serve within His will, ensuring no excuse exists for not contributing to His work.
