I wish Bezalel and Oholiab were my neighbors. The Lord chose them and filled them with His Spirit in order to craft the intricate designs necessary to construct the tabernacle. I love to watch talented people shape metal, stone, wood and other materials. Few prove as talented as these two.
Doubtless these men developed valuable skills while working in Egypt. The Lord took those skills and multiplied them, empowering them to create the masterpiece of their lives.

In this case, the King of Kings.
