29 And the childern of Israel brought wyllynge offrynges vnto the Lorde, both men ad women: as many as their hartes made the wyllynge to brynge, for all maner workes which the Lorde had commaunded to make by the hande of Moses.

30 And Moses sayde vnto the childern of Israel: beholde, the Lorde hath called by name Bezabeel the son of Vri the son of Hur of the trybe of Iuda,

31 and hath fylled him with the sprete of God, with wisdome, vnderstodinge and knowlege, euen in all maner worke,

32 ad to fynde out curyous workes, to worke in golde, syluer and brasse:

33 and with grauynge of stones to sett, and with keruynge in wodd, and to worke in all maner of sotle workes.

34 And he hath put in hys harte the grace to teach: both him and Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the trybe of Dan

Exodus 35:29-35 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.
