Exodus 35:23 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 35:23

And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and
scarlet
Wool or yarn of either of the colours; unless it can be supposed there might be with some of them the ingredients with which colours were made, brought with them out of Egypt:

and fine linen;
they had brought out of Egypt, and for which that country was famous:

and goats' [hair];
which in those countries was so long as to be shorn like the wool of sheep:

and red skins of the rams;
died red, for it does not mean any that were naturally so, of which none are known:

and badgers' skins;
see ( Exodus 25:5 ) of each of these, such who had them in their possession, and their hearts were willing to part with them:

brought [them];
to Moses, to the tabernacle or tent where he was.

Exodus 35:23 In-Context

21 Those who were willing and whose hearts moved them came and brought their contributions to the LORD. The gifts were used to construct the tent of meeting, to pay other expenses, and to make the holy clothes.
22 All who were willing--men and women alike--came and brought all kinds of gold jewelry: pins, earrings, signet rings, and pendants. They took these gifts of gold and offered them to the LORD.
23 Those who had violet, purple, or bright red yarn, fine linen, goats' hair, rams' skins dyed red, or fine leather brought them.
24 Those who could give silver or bronze brought it as their contribution to the LORD. Those who had acacia wood that could be used in the construction brought it.
25 All the women who were skilled in spinning yarn brought violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine linen, which they had made by hand.
