Then wrought Bezaleel, &c.— As this verse stands, it seems to make the sense incoherent, as if Bezaleel, &c. had set about the work before Moses delivered it to them: see Exodus 36:2. Junius, therefore, judiciously connects it with the last chapter; and renders it, therefore Bezaleel and Aholiah shall do the work, and every wise-hearted man, &c. Nothing, says Junius, can be more grammatical than this connexion; and, in consequence of it, this 36th chapter will begin with great propriety at the second verse, Then Moses called Bezaleel, &c.
