MEDITATION
Exodus 35:30-35
30 And Moses said to the children of Israel, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship,
32 to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze,
33 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.
34 “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

《出埃及 35:30-35》
30 摩西对以色列人说：“犹大支派中，户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列，耶和华已经提他的名召他，
31 又以神的灵充满了他，使他有智慧、聪明、知识，能做各样的工，
32 能想出巧工，用金、银、铜制造各物，
33 又能刻宝石，可以镶嵌，能雕刻木头，能做各样的巧工。
34 耶和华又使他和但支派中亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯心里灵明，能教导人。35 耶和华使他们的心满有智慧，能做各样的工，无论是雕刻的工，巧匠的工，用蓝色、紫色、朱红色线和细麻绣花的工并机匠的工，他们都能做，也能想出奇巧的工。
