- B&w photograph postcard representing six Jewish male workers from Yemen. The men are wearing traditional outfits and hats. There is no handwriting on the back of the card. It is possible that the term Bezalel refers to the occupation of the men as metal engravers. Narrative: The name "Bezalel" means "in the shadow [protection] of God." Bezalel is described in the genealogical lists as the son of Uri (Exodus 31:1), the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah (I Chronicles 2:18, 19, 20, 50). He was said to be highly gifted as a workman, showing great skill and originality in engraving precious metals and stones and in wood-carving. (source: Wikipedia)
