And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
Moses said to the people of Israel, 'Look, the LORD has specifically chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.'
God specifically chose and called Bezalel by name to lead the construction of the tabernacle, showing that God personally selects people for important work.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during Israel's time in the wilderness after receiving the Ten Commandments, as they prepared to build the tabernacle (portable temple). Bezalel was divinely appointed as the master craftsman to oversee the intricate construction of God's dwelling place among His people. The mention of his genealogy (son of Uri, grandson of Hur) establishes his credentials and shows God's attention to detail in His selections.
