Bezalel: (a) Great-grandson of Miriam. Chosen by G-d to be chief architect and builder of the Tabernacle together with Oholiab the son of Ahisamach. (b) Common Jewish name.

Neither family background nor social status influence G‑d.
The Vice-Architect of the Tabernacle
The chief architect was Bezalel, and he was helped by many wise-hearted people. But only one of his helpers gets a special mention: Oholiab.
