Exodus31:2

I have called by name Bezaleel - That is, I have particularly appointed this person to be the chief superintendent of the whole work. His name is significant, בצלאל betsal-el, in or under the shadow of God, meaning, under the especial protection of the Most High. He was the son of Uri, the son of Hur, the son of Caleb or Chelubai, the son of Esron, the son of Pharez, the son of Judah. See 1Chr 2:5, 1Chr 2:9,1Chr 2:18, 1Chr 2:19, 1Chr 2:20, and see Clarke's note on Exo 17:10.
