Rashi
וַיְמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בְּחׇכְמָה בִּתְבוּנָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכׇל־מְלָאכָֽה׃
And He endowed him with Divine spirit, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with [the skill to perform] all types of crafting.
And He endowed him with Divine spirit, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with [the skill to perform] all types of crafting.
וְלַחְשֹׁב מַֽחֲשָׁבֹת לַעֲשֹׂת בַּזָּהָב וּבַכֶּסֶף וּבַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃
And to devise [plans] with ingenuity, to execute [those plans] in gold, in silver and in copper.

וּבַחֲרֹשֶׁת אֶבֶן לְמַלֹּאת וּבַחֲרֹשֶׁת עֵץ לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּכׇל־מְלֶאכֶת מַחֲשָֽׁבֶת׃
And in masonary for settings, and in carpentry, to execute all kinds of clever tasks.

וּלְהוֹרֹת נָתַן בְּלִבּוֹ הוּא וְאׇֽהֳלִיאָב בֶּן־אֲחִיסָמָךְ לְמַטֵּה־דָֽן׃

And the ability to instruct he instilled in his heart, he (Betzalel) and Oholiov, the son of Achisomoch of the tribe of Dan.
Rashi
ואהליאב. משבט דן, מן הירודין שבשבטים, מבני השפחות, והשוהו המקום לבצלאל למלאכת המשכן, והוא מגדולי השבטים, לקיים מה שנאמר וְלֹא נִכַּר שֹׁעַ לִפְנֵי דָל (איוב לד, יט):
And Oholiov. He was from the Tribe of Dan, one of the lowliest of the Tribes, one of the sons of [Yaakov’s] maidservants. Yet God equates him to Betzalel regarding the works of the mishkon, and he (Betzalel) is from the greatest of the Tribes. This tends to fulfill what is stated: “He does not recognize the rich over the poor.”
מִלֵּא אֹתָם חׇכְמַת־לֵב לַעֲשׂוֹת כׇּל־מְלֶאכֶת חָרָשׁ ׀ וְחֹשֵׁב וְרֹקֵם בַּתְּכֵלֶת וּבָֽאַרְגָּמָן בְּתוֹלַעַת הַשָּׁנִי וּבַשֵּׁשׁ וְאֹרֵג עֹשֵׂי כׇּל־מְלָאכָה וְחֹשְׁבֵי מַחֲשָׁבֹֽת׃
He filled them with wisdom of the heart, to execute all the tasks of the engraver, the craftsman, and the embroiderer of greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, crimson wool, fine linen, and the [the tasks of] weaver, [also] that of laborers and planners.

וְעָשָׂה בְצַלְאֵל וְאׇהֳלִיאָב וְכֹל ׀ אִישׁ חֲכַם־לֵב אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהֹוָה חׇכְמָה וּתְבוּנָה בָּהֵמָּה לָדַעַת לַעֲשֹׂת אֶֽת־כׇּל־מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ לְכֹל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָֽה׃
And they shall execute—Betzalel and Oholiov—and every wise-hearted man whom Adonoy had endowed with wisdom and insight to know (how) to execute in all of the holy work—all that Adonoy had commanded.

וַיִּקְרָא מֹשֶׁה אֶל־בְּצַלְאֵל וְאֶל־אׇֽהֳלִיאָב וְאֶל כׇּל־אִישׁ חֲכַם־לֵב אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהֹוָה חׇכְמָה בְּלִבּוֹ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר נְשָׂאוֹ לִבּוֹ לְקׇרְבָה אֶל־הַמְּלָאכָה לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָֽהּ׃
Moshe called to Betzalel and to Oholiov, and to every wise-hearted man whom Adonoy had endowed with wisdom in his heart, everyone whose heart moved him to approach the task—to execute it.

וַיִּקְחוּ מִלִּפְנֵי מֹשֶׁה אֵת כׇּל־הַתְּרוּמָה אֲשֶׁר הֵבִיאוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִמְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָהּ וְהֵם הֵבִיאוּ אֵלָיו עוֹד נְדָבָה בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּֽקֶר׃
And they took from before Moshe, all the terumah-offering which the B’nei Yisrael brought for the tasks of the holy work, to execute it. And they continued to bring gifts each and every morning.

וַיָּבֹאוּ כׇּל־הַחֲכָמִים הָעֹשִׂים אֵת כׇּל־מְלֶאכֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ אִֽישׁ־אִישׁ מִמְּלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־הֵמָּה עֹשִֽׂים׃
All the wise men came—who were executing all the holy tasks—each and every man from the task in which he was engaged.

וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר מַרְבִּים הָעָם לְהָבִיא מִדֵּי הָֽעֲבֹדָה לַמְּלָאכָה אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּה יְהֹוָה לַעֲשֹׂת אֹתָֽהּ׃
They said the following to Moshe: the people are bringing too much—more than is needed for the tasks which Adonoy has commanded to execute.
They said the following to Moshe: the people are bringing too much—more than is needed for the tasks which Adonoy has commanded to execute.
Rashi
מדי העבודה. יותר מכדי צורך העבודה:
More than is needed for the tasks. [Meaning:] more than what was needed for the work.
וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה וַיַּעֲבִירוּ קוֹל בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה לֵאמֹר אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה אַל־יַעֲשׂוּ־עוֹד מְלָאכָה לִתְרוּמַת הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיִּכָּלֵא הָעָם מֵהָבִֽיא׃
Moshe commanded—and they proclaimed throughout the encampment saying, “Let no man or woman bring any more material for the sacred offering.” And the people stopped bringing.
Moshe commanded—and they proclaimed throughout the encampment saying, “Let no man or woman bring any more material for the sacred offering.” And the people stopped bringing.
Rashi
ויכלא. לשון מניעה:
And the people stopped. [וַיִּכָּלֵא is] an expression meaning “withholding.”
וְהַמְּלָאכָה הָיְתָה דַיָּם לְכׇל־הַמְּלָאכָה לַעֲשׂוֹת אֹתָהּ וְהוֹתֵֽר׃ {ס}
The material was enough for all the work that had to be done, and some was left over.
The material was enough for all the work that had to be done, and some was left over.
Rashi
והמלאכה היתה דים לכל המלאכה ומלאכת ההבאה היתה דים של עושי המשכן, לכל המלאכה של משכן לעשות אותה, ולהותר:
The material was enough for all the work. [Meaning:] the work of bringing was sufficient for the workers of the mishkon. For all the “work” of the mishkon — to make it and to have some left over.
והותר. כמו וְהַכְבֵּד אֶת לִבֹּו (שמות ח, יא), וְהַכֹּות אֶת מֹואָב (מלכים־ב ג, כד):
And some was left over. As in “(וְהַכְבֵּד) to harden his heart,” [or:] “(וְהַכּוֹת) to strike Moav.”
חור. בנה של מרים היה:
Chur. He was Miriam’s son.
