“Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the Lord put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the Lord had commanded.”
So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded. The opening verse establishes the chain of authority: the Lord commanded, Moses transmitted, Bezalel and Oholiab lead, every skilled person works. The phrase just as the Lord has commanded is the standard that the construction chapters will repeat eleven times. The execution of the tabernacle is measured against the specification given on the mountain. Faithfulness in construction is faithfulness to the divine vision.
