He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.

All Skill is a Gift from God

All four commentaries affirm that the artisans' abilities were a direct gift from God. John Gill states that all wisdom, whether natural or spiritual, comes from God. Matthew Henry applies this broadly, noting, "Skill, even in ordinary occupations, is God's gift and comes from above." This reminds believers that their practical talents and professional skills are divinely endowed and can be used for His glory.
