Exodus 35:34 "And he has given both him [Bezalel] and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others."
(The Lord had called His people to engage in a communal endeavor. He had instructed them to begin the process of building a tabernacle where He would establish His presence with them as they continued their journey toward the Promised Land.
He had chosen Bezalel to design the work, a seemingly monumental task, but one for which the Lord had equipped him. Now the Lord brings into the work another leader who will join Bezalel as co-laborer and partner and contribute to the execution of the Lord's plan.
The name Oholiab, chosen for him long before the Lord had called him to this work, means father's tent. The Lord has a destiny for all of us from our very inception. He is the son of Ahisamak,
a name which means my brother has supported.
The Lord has chosen Oholiab to support Bezalel in his work on the Father's tent and has given him teaching skills to support the design skills of of his colleague Bezalel. The Lord chooses us today just as he did these two men to walk out the destiny He has chosen for us. He gives us His Spirit and also brings people alongside us who will be supportive co-laborers with us. Not only does He never leave us alone, but He also establishes us in community with others with whom we can share the labor,
and He calls us to use the skills He has provided us)
