Artistry as a Spiritual Gift
One commentator highlights that the skill of the artisan, Hiram, is understood as a gift from the Spirit of God. This broadens our view of spiritual gifts beyond prophecy or teaching to include artistic and technical abilities. This affirms that creative and practical talents are also from God and can be used for His glory, illustrating the New Testament principle: 'There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit' (1 Corinthians 12:4).
