Study note
Setting — Moses addresses the Israelites immediately after their freewill offerings are collected for the tabernacle project.
The words — The text highlights רְא֛וּ (re'u), translated literally as "see," and קָרָ֥א (qara'), meaning "he has called."

Why it lands — The passage states that God personally names and calls individuals for specific work, requiring readers to acknowledge divine initiative over human selection.
