## In Jewish tradition

Bezalel is filled with wisdom, understanding and knowledge to do the work, which the tradition uses as a model for craftsmanship given by God. In Job and Psalms, God knows everything, including the pride of people.

**Interpretation.** These three words are the source of the name Chabad, from wisdom, understanding and knowledge, and tradition treats knowledge as a gift to be used for holy work. Job 42:3 is read as Job admitting that he spoke without knowledge, and Psalm 73:11 as the doubt of the wicked that tradition answers by teaching God's full knowledge.
