Exodus 34:16

Exodus 35:30

35:30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen ²  Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

[34:16]  ¹ tn In the construction this verb would follow as a possible outcome of the last event, and so remain in the verbal sequence. If the people participate in the festivals of the land, then they will intermarry, and that could lead to further involvement with idolatry.

[35:30]  ² tn Heb “called by name” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). This expression means that the person was specifically chosen for some important task (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 342). See the expression with Cyrus in Isa 45:3-4.
