The Hebrew proper name Uri (אוּרִי) means "my light" or "my flame", derived from the root or/ur (light, fire). It is borne by several individuals in the Old Testament, most notably the father of Bezalel — the master craftsman who constructed the Tabernacle.
The most theologically rich bearer of this name is Bezalel ben Uri (Exodus 31:2; 35:30). Bezalel was filled by God's Spirit with wisdom, understanding, and all kinds of skill to craft the Tabernacle and its furnishings. That the Spirit-filled craftsman comes from a family named "my light" is a fitting detail: the Tabernacle was God's dwelling — the place where His glory-light would visibly rest. The name Uri reminds us that true craftsmanship, creativity, and artistry are gifts of God's illumination, not merely human talent.
