Exodus 38:23

38:23 and with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artisan, a designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.

Exodus 31:6

31:6 Moreover, ¹  I have also given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given ability to all the specially skilled, ²  that they may make ³  everything I have commanded you:

Exodus 36:2

36:2 Moses summoned ⁴  Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom ⁵  the Lord had put skill – everyone whose heart stirred him ⁶  to volunteer ⁷  to do the work,

¹ tn The expression uses the independent personal pronoun (“and I”) with the deictic particle (“behold”) to enforce the subject of the verb – “and I, indeed I have given.”

² tn Heb “and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom.”

³ tn The form is a perfect with vav (ו) consecutive. The form at this place shows the purpose or the result of what has gone before, and so it is rendered “that they may make.”

¹ tn The verb קָרָא (qara’) plus the preposition “to” – “to call to” someone means “to summon” that person.

² tn Here there is a slight change: “in whose heart Yahweh had put skill.”

³ tn Or “whose heart was willing.”

⁴ sn The verb means more than “approach” or “draw near”; קָרַב (qarav) is the word used for drawing near the altar as in bringing an offering. Here they offer themselves, their talents and their time.
