Sforno on Exodus 31:2/ספורנו על שמות ל״א:ב׳

ארְאֵה קָרָאתִי בְשֵׁם. רְאֵה וְהָבֵן כִּי לֹא אֶל חִנָּם קְרָאתִיו, כִּי דָּבָר עִקָּרִי הוּא בִּמְלֶאכֶת הַקֹּדֶשׁ שֶׁתִּהְיֶה נַעֲשֵׂית עַל יְדֵי בְּחִיר ה' הַמְכַוֵּן בִּפְעֻלָּתוֹ שֶׁיּוּשַׂג תַּכְלִית הַמִּצְוָה.
1ראה קראתי בשם, try and understand that I did not appoint Betzalel for this task arbitrarily, as it is of the essence that someone who is very senior also in spiritual matters must carry out such a sacred task as fashioning the parts of the Tabernacle. Such a person must not only have in mind the desire to technically execute first class artisanship, but he must constantly be conscious of performing a Divine commandment.
