“And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,”
And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills. The filling with the Spirit of God for artistic craftsmanship is the first explicit reference to a person being filled with the Spirit for a specific task in all of Scripture. The four gifts — wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and all kinds of skills — are the complete toolkit for sacred craftsmanship. Isaiah 11:2 lists the same four qualities as gifts of the messianic Spirit. The Spirit who fills Bezalel for tabernacle building is the same Spirit who will fill the Messiah for covenant governance and believers for ministry.
