Exodus 35:20 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 35:20

And all the congregation of the children of Israel
departed from the presence of Moses.
] After they had heard what Moses was ordered to propose unto them, they immediately went to their tents, and fetched what they had with them, or were willing to part with, and brought it directly as a freewill offering to the Lord; as ( Exodus 35:21 ) shows: from hence, Aben Ezra observes, we may learn, that the whole congregation of Israel came to the tabernacle, company after company.

Exodus 35:20 In-Context

18 the pegs for The Dwelling, the pegs for the Courtyard with their cords;

19 the official vestments for ministering in the Holy Place, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest and for his sons serving as priests."

20 So everyone in the community of Israel left the presence of Moses.

21 Then they came back, every one whose heart was roused, whose spirit was freely responsive, bringing offerings to God for building the Tent of Meeting, furnishing it for worship and making the holy vestments.

22 They came, both men and women, all the willing spirits among them, offering brooches, earrings, rings, necklaces - anything made of gold - offering up their gold jewelry to God.
