Read this verse in context
Dorothy SayersVocation in Work / A Christian Basis for the Post-War World, SCM Press 1942
Exodus 31:1-5New International Version
 

Man is a maker, who makes things because he wants to, because he cannot fulfill his true nature if he is prevented from making things for the love of the job; he is made in the image of the Maker and he must himself create or become something less than a man.

 

Then the LORD said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts — to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.
