anak seorang perempuan dari keturunan Dan, sedangkan ayahnya seorang penduduk Tirus. Ia pandai bekerja dengan emas dan perak, tembaga, besi, batu, dan kayu, serta dengan kain ungu, kain biru, kain lenan halus, dan kain merah tua. Ia juga pandai membuat segala macam ukiran dan merancang segala macam rancangan yang diserahkan kepadanya, bersama para ahlimu dan para ahli tuanku Daud, ayahmu.
Rashi
and his father was a Tyrian man He was a Jew who lived in Tyre, on the model of (II Sam. 6:10): “Obed-Edom the Gittite,” who lived in Gath, and who was a Levite. In I Kings (7:14), it is written: “He was a widow’s son, of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a Tyrian man.” His mother was from Dan, and his father was from Naphtali. Now why was it necessary to trace his genealogy, from which tribe his father and mother were? This is what is written (Gen. 30:6): “God judged me,” and also (ibid. 8): “I have fought a divine struggle, etc.” Rachel said, “I twisted cords; I went through contortions until I was able to compare to my sister Leah. If Leah will boast of her descendant Bezalel, who will make the Tabernacle, he will require one of the sons of Dan to participate in his work, as it is written (38: 23): ‘And with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan.’ Now if Solomon, the descendant of my sister, will build the Temple, some of the sons of Dan and Naphtali will have to participate with him.”
Rashi
and his father was a Tyrian man [This comes] to teach you that even if his mother is a widow, a person must adopt his father’s trade and sustain his mother. (So I heard from Rabbi Solomon the son of Levi of Monteuille, the son of Rabbi Moshe Hadarshan’s sister.)
