26 And all the women whose heart lifted them with skill spun the goat hair.
27 And the leaders brought the onyx stones and stones for mountings for the ephod and for the breast piece
28 and the balsam oils and the oil for light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.
29 Every man and woman whose heart impelled them to bring for all the work to be done that Yahweh had commanded {by the agency of} Moses--the {Israelites} brought freely to Yahweh.
30 And Moses said to the {Israelites}, "See, Yahweh has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31 And he has filled him [with] the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill and with knowledge and with every [kind of] craftsmanship,
32 and to devise designs, to work with the gold and with the silver and with the bronze,
33 and in stonecutting for setting and in cutting wood, for doing every [kind of] design craftsmanship.
34 And he has put [it] in his heart to teach--he and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan.
35 He has filled them [with] skill of heart to do every work of a craftsman and a designer and an embroiderer with the blue and with the purple, with the crimson [yarns] and with the fine linen and a weaver; [they are] doers of every [kind of] craftsmanship and devisers of designs.

Exodus 35:26-35 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 35

This chapter begins with a renewal of the command of the sabbath, Ex 35:1-3 and contains an order for a freewill offering to be brought for the service of the sanctuary, and specifies the things to be brought, and for what uses, Ex 35:4-19 to which there was a ready compliance, and men and women, princes and the common people, everyone according to what they had in possession, brought and offered it freely, Ex 35:20-29 and for their encouragement, that their offering would not be in vain, they were informed there were two persons divinely inspired, to do, and teach to be done, all manner of work for the tabernacle, towards which they had made such a liberal and plentiful contribution, Ex 35:30-35.
