“And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;”
Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you. Oholiab from Dan alongside Bezalel from Judah — the two most geographically distant tribes — signals that the tabernacle belongs to all Israel. Beyond the two named craftsmen, God has given ability to all the skilled workers. Acts 2:17 says God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh — the Spirit-gifting that begins with Bezalel for tabernacle-building anticipates the broader gifting of the whole community for building God's new dwelling in Christ.
