5. Whom did God choose to place alongside Bezaleel to make the beautiful things for the dwelling place of God? Exodus 31:6; Exodus 35:34.
NOTE: “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 wisehearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee.” Exodus 31:6. In order that the earthly tabernacle might represent the heavenly, it must be perfect in all its parts, and it must be, in every smallest detail, like the pattern in the heavens. So it is with the characters of those who are finally accepted in the sight of heaven.' Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students, page 59.
6. What other specialist work did the Holy Spirit teach Aholiab? Exodus 35:35. Compare Exodus 36:35.
NOTE: ‘God can communicate with His people today, and give them wisdom to do His will, just as He communicated with His people of old, and gave them wisdom in building the sanctuary…. “that they may make all that I have commanded thee; the tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, and the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, and the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office, and the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.” This is an object lesson for us. The tabernacle was to be sacred to the service of God. It was to stand continually in the sight of more than a million people as an illustration of the perfection of Christ’s work; and all that was done in its building was to represent this perfection. So with God’s work today. Everything connected with His service is to be without a flaw. Those who are seeking to advance His work should give the very best they have, that the work may illustrate the perfection God requires.’ Review & Herald, June 24, 1902.
