all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled
on Exodus 28:3-5
The word wisdom occurs here for the first time in Scripture, and it is given to weavers and engravers rather than to a king or a judge. The men who receive it are called wise hearted, a phrase that also begins here and then runs through the building chapters at 31:6, 35:10 and 36:1. Six garments are named and the materials repeat the four of the tabernacle curtains with gold added.

holy garments--No inherent holiness belonged either to the material or the workmanship. But they are called "holy" simply because they were not worn on ordinary occasions, but assumed in the discharge of the sacred functions (Eze 44:19). for glory and for beauty--It was a grand and sumptuous attire.
