2. 看哪，我已經提召——雖然有關會幕的指示是私下傳達給摩西的，但在他眾多其他職責中，他顯然不可能親自監督工程。上帝自己揀選了一位總監工或建造者；如此崇高權威的任命，消除了那些可能自覺功勞被忽視之人的一切嫉妒或不滿的理由
（比較 太 18:1）。
比撒列——其名意為「在上帝的蔭庇或保護之下」；他既被召承擔一項重大的職責——在古上帝教會中執行一項機要的信託——其家族與譜系也被鄭重地記錄下來。他屬於猶大支派——這支派上帝素來樂意尊榮，無疑是出於智慧而重大的緣由；他是戶珥的孫子——戶珥是一位敬虔的愛國者
（Ex 17:12），
曾奉特別的任命，在摩西不在時與亞倫共同治理百姓。此外，猶太人的傳統說戶珥是米利暗的丈夫；若這傳統可信，則為比撒列的任命出自上帝直接權威提供了進一步的理由。

2. See, I have called--Though the instructions about the tabernacle were privately communicated to Moses, it was plainly impossible that he could superintend the work in person, amid the multiplicity of his other duties. A head director or builder was selected by God Himself; and the nomination by such high authority removed all ground of jealousy or discontent on the part of any who might have thought their merits overlooked (compare
Mt 18:1).
by name Bezaleel--signifying "in the shadow or protection of God"; and, as called to discharge a duty of great magnitude--to execute a confidential trust in the ancient Church of God, he has his family and lineage recorded with marked distinction. He belonged to the tribe of Judah, which, doubtless for wise and weighty reasons, God all along delighted to honor; and he was the grandson of Hur, a pious patriot
(Ex 17:12),
who was associated, by a special commission, with Aaron in the government of the people during the absence of Moses. Moreover, it may be noticed that a Jewish tradition affirms Hur to be the husband of Miriam; and if this tradition may be relied on, it affords an additional reason for the appointment of Bezaleel emanating from the direct authority of God.

3-5. 我也以上帝的靈充滿了他——他大概天生具有機械方面的天才，又在埃及獲得了豐富的實用與文理藝術的知識與技藝，成為一流的工匠，足以主持這座神聖建築所需的簡樸與裝飾兩類工程。上帝若有任何特殊工作要成就，必興起能以勝任的器皿；祂很可能早已給烏利的兒子那種天生的才能和獲得機械技藝的機會，目的正是為這負責的職位。雖然他的主要職責是嚴格忠實地遵照所供給的樣式，但在執行上仍大有發明天才與雅致精確的餘地；他那先天與後天的才幹，為這重要的工作而得著擴充與激勵。

3-5. I have filled him with the spirit of God--It is probable that he was naturally endowed with a mechanical genius, and had acquired in Egypt great knowledge and skill in the useful, as well as liberal, arts so as to be a first-class artisan, competent to take charge of both the plain and ornamental work, which the building of the sacred edifice required. When God has any special work to be accomplished, He always raises up instruments capable of doing it; and it is likely that He had given to the son of Uri that strong natural aptitude and those opportunities of gaining mechanical skill, with an ultimate view to this responsible office. Notwithstanding that his grand duty was to conform with scrupulous fidelity to the pattern furnished, there was still plenty of room for inventive talent and tasteful exactness in the execution; and his natural and acquired gifts were enlarged and invigorated for the important work.

6. 我已經派但支派中亞何利亞伯與他同工——他屬於但支派，是以色列中影響力最小、最不尊榮的支派之一；在這裏我們也可以看出智慧而為父之設計的痕跡——從一個較低的支派中揀選比撒列的同工或助手
（比較 林前 12:14-25；
亦參 可 6:7）。
凡心裏有智慧的，我更使他們有智慧——在那個時期，當同一靈貫穿全以色列時，主持工程的並不是那充滿屬天天才的人；而是凡在最小的事上貢獻其技能、經驗與勞力的人，都表現出其對上帝事奉的敬虔與奉獻。照樣，在基督教會的初期也是如此
（徒 6:5；18:2）。

6. I have given with him Aholiab--He belonged to the tribe of Dan, one of the least influential and honorable 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 (compare
1Co 12:14-25; also Mr 6:7).
all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom--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 labor, in rendering the smallest assistance, showed their piety and devotedness to the divine service. In like manner, it was at the commencement of the Christian Church
(Ac 6:5; 18:2).

12-17. 你們務要守我的安息日——在此特殊時期重新教導第四誡的原因是：各階層以極大的熱心與殷勤投入會幕的建造，使他們面臨侵犯所定安息日之聖潔的試探。他們可能以為建造會幕是聖工，不因一日的歇息而中斷、堅持進行，是高超的功勞、可蒙悅納的貢品；因此在工程開始之際所發的這個警告，是合乎時宜的勸誡。

12-17. Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep--The reason for the fresh inculcation of the fourth commandment at this particular period was, that the great ardor and eagerness, with which all classes betook themselves to the construction of the tabernacle, exposed them to the temptation of encroaching on the sanctity of the appointed day of rest. They might suppose that the erection of the tabernacle was a sacred work, and that it would be a high merit, an acceptable tribute, to prosecute the undertaking without the interruption of a day's repose; and therefore the caution here given, at the commencement of the undertaking, was a seasonable admonition.

（出 24:12）， 稱為「見證的版」，因為上帝在其中見證其旨意。
