Bezalel is the divinely inspired craftsman of the Tabernacle.
In Exodus, he is filled with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill in every craft: metalwork, stone, wood, design, and sacred construction. He is not merely an artisan. He is the biblical archetype of inspired making.
Bezalel stands in the lineage of sacred craftsmen. Tubal-Cain forges metals in the Cainite world. Bezalel restores craft to consecrated use. Hiram later builds the Temple. The Masonic and Hermetic traditions inherit this vision of the builder whose hands participate in divine order.
