Exodus 31:6
βBehold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:β
What does Exodus 31:6 mean?
God isn't just gifting one person for the sacred work of building the tabernacle, but he's distributing skill and creativity throughout the community. When he says he's "put wisdom" in the hearts of all who are wise-hearted, he means the ability to create beauty and function isn't locked away in a single leader, but available to everyone willing to grow in their craft. This reminds us that God values practical skill, artistry, and craftsmanship as genuine spiritual gifts, and that important work often requires many hands working together with different talents. Whether you're skilled with your hands, your mind, or your heart, there's room for your contribution in what God is building.
