Ex 31:2
31:2 See, I {a} have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the
     son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

     (a) I have chosen and made meet, @Ex 35:30.

Ex 31:3
31:3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom,
     and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner
     of {b} workmanship,

     (b) This shows that handicrafts are the gifts of God's
         spirit, and therefore ought to be esteemed.

Ex 31:6
31:6 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 {c} wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may
     make all that I have commanded thee;

     (c) I have instructed them, and increased their knowledge.

Ex 31:8
31:8 And the table and his furniture, and the {d} pure
     candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of
     incense,

     (d) So called, because of the cunning and art used in them,
         or because the whole was beaten out of the piece.

Ex 31:11
31:11 And the {e} anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy
      [place]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall
      they do.

      (e) Which was only to anoint the Priests and the
          instruments of the tabernacle, not to burn.

Ex 31:13
31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, {f}
      Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign
      between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye]
      may know that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify you.

      (f) Though I command that these works be done, yet I do
          not want you to break my Sabbath days.

Ex 31:14
31:14 Ye shall keep the {g} sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy
      unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put
      to death: for whosoever doeth [any] work therein, that
      soul shall be cut off from among his people.

      (g) God repeats this point because the whole keeping of
          the law stands in the true use of the sabbath, which
          is to stop working and so obey the will of God.

Ex 31:17
31:17 It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for
      ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
      and on the seventh day he {h} rested, and was refreshed.

      (h) From creating his creatures, but not from governing
          and preserving them.

Ex 31:18
31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of
      communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables {i} of
      testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of
      God.

      (i) By which he declared his will to his people.
