Exodus 35:1-10

1 igitur congregata omni turba filiorum Israhel dixit ad eos haec sunt quae iussit Dominus fieri

2 sex diebus facietis opus septimus dies erit vobis sanctus sabbatum et requies Domini qui fecerit opus in eo occidetur

3 non succendetis ignem in omnibus habitaculis vestris per diem sabbati

4 et ait Moses ad omnem catervam filiorum Israhel iste est sermo quem praecepit Dominus dicens

5 separate apud vos primitias Domino omnis voluntarius et proni animi offerat eas Domino aurum et argentum et aes

6 hyacinthum purpuram coccumque bis tinctum et byssum pilos caprarum

7 et pelles arietum rubricatas et ianthinas

8 ligna setthim

9 et oleum ad luminaria concinnanda et ut conficiatur unguentum et thymiama suavissimum

10 lapides onychinos et gemmas ad ornatum superumeralis et rationalis

Exodus 35:1-10 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.
