35:29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the Lord through 1 Moses had commanded them 2 to do.
35:30 Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen 3 Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
1 tn Heb “by the hand of.”
2 tn Here “them” has been supplied.
3 tn Heb “called by name” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). This expression means that the person was specifically chosen for some important task (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 342). See the expression with Cyrus in Isa 45:3-4.
