Exodus 31:3

The Holy SpiritWorkWisdom

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

4 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

5 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
