In the shadow of God; i.e., “under his protection”, the artificer who executed the work of art in connection with the tabernacle in the wilderness ([Ex. 31:2](/exod#Exod.31.2); [35:30](/exod#Exod.35.30)). He was engaged principally in works of metal, wood, and stone; while Aholiab, who was associated with him and subordinate to him, had the charge of the textile fabrics (36:1, 2; 38:22). He was of the tribe of Judah, the son of Uri, and grandson of Hur (31:2). Mention is made in [Ezra 10:30](/ezra#Ezra.10.30) of another of the same name.
