John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom - So we find that ingenuity in arts and sciences, even those of the ornamental kind, comes from God. It is not intimated here that these persons were filled with the spirit of wisdom for this purpose only; for the direction to Moses is, to select those whom he found to be expert artists, and those who were such, God shows by these words, had derived their knowledge from himself.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical

It was from a principle of love to God, and his service; a desire of his presence with them by his ordinances; gratitude for the great things he had done for them; and faith in his promises of what he would do further.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
