Exodus 31:6

In the hearts of all that are wisehearted I have put wisdom - So every man that had a natural genius, as we term it, had an increase of wisdom by immediate inspiration from God, so that he knew how to execute the different works which Divine wisdom designed for the tabernacle and its furniture. Dark as were the heathens, yet they acknowledged that all talents, and the seeds of all arts, came from God. Hence Seneca: Insita nobis omnium artium semina, magisterque ex occulto Deus producit ingenia . In the same way Homer attributes such curious arts to Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, and Vulcan, the god of handicrafts.

Ὡς δ ' ὁτε τις χρυσον περιχευεται αργυρῳ ανηρπ

Ιδρις, ὁν Ἡφαιστος δεδαεν και Παλλας Αθηνηπ

Τεχνην παντοιην, χαριεντα δε εργα τελειει .

Odyss., 1. vi., ver. 232.
