Exodus 31:1-3

"[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, [2] See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: [3] And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,"


The names Bezaleel, Uri, Hur, and Judah are full of deep meanings which Hebrew concordances and God's Spirit can reveal to us believers. There is a reason why the Holy Scriptures are God-breathed or inspired by God. They are full of rich meanings and truths. Some of these truths are deeper than the surface level and are discovered by God's Spirit and also with the help of Hebrew or Greek concordances. (Note: Concordances offer many definitions to a word. I recommend seeking God about which definition specifically applies to the Hebrew or Greek word you are viewing in the context of the sentence it appears in.)

Let's look at these names and find out the meaning of each name in Exodus 31:1-2. The meanings I have written down come from seeking God in prayer about each name. What He has shown me is based on the Hebrew derivation of each name. I recommend you seek God about these meanings I've given, if you want to know more about them.


◼ Name: Bezaleel is Betsalel (bets-al-ale') in Hebrew.

The Meaning of Bethesda in John Chapter 5

(Click to Print This Document in a PDF Format)

John 5:2
"Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches."

According to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Bethesda is made from two Hebrew words: bayith (#1004 in Strong's Hebrew section) and checed (#2617 in Strong's Hebrew section). 

Bayith means house.

Checed (kheh'-sed) is lovingkindness and many other things.

According to NAS Exhaustive Concordance, the Hebrew word checed (Strong’s #2617) includes lovingkindness, lovingkindnesses, unchanging love, devotion, favor, kindnesses, deeds of devotion, mercies, loyalty, and goodness in its definition. (Strong's Exhaustive Concordance includes pity as well.)

So, Bethesda Is a Word Meaning House of Lovingkindness.
