Bezalel's partner in building the Tabernacle — gifted in design and embroidery
God appointed Oholiab from the tribe of Dan to work alongside Bezalel on the Tabernacle (Exodus 31:6). He was skilled in engraving, design, and embroidery. Like Bezalel, he's a reminder that God equips people with artistic gifts for sacred work — creativity isn't separate from worship.
