The table below presents presents
two contradictory verses.
Both verses talk about
the temple construction.
The underlined words highlight the contradiction.
One verse says
...the wise men constructed the temple
while the other verse says
... Bezalel constructed....
Which is it?
Did Bezalel construct the Temple or
did the staff of wise people construct it?
Rashi simply resolves this using the 2 aspects method:
Bezalel was the manager of Temple construction
The crafstmen were the staff of Temple construction.
Managers obtain credit for the entire project since
by overseeing the project
they enable others to do its work.
