Éxodo 35:1-7

1 Y Moisés hizo juntar toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, y les dijo: Estas son las cosas que el SEÑOR ha mandado que hagáis.

2 Seis días se hará obra, mas el día séptimo os será santo, sábado de reposo al SEÑOR; cualquiera que en él hiciere obra, morirá.

3 No encenderéis fuego en todas vuestras moradas en el día del sábado.

4 Y habló Moisés a toda la congregación de los hijos de Israel, diciendo: Esto es lo que el SEÑOR ha mandado, diciendo:

5 Tomad de entre vosotros ofrenda para el SEÑOR; todo generoso de corazón la traerá al SEÑOR: oro, plata, bronce;

6 cárdeno, púrpura, carmesí, lino fino, pelo de cabras;

7 cueros rojos de carneros, cueros de tejones, madera de cedro;

Éxodo 35:1-7 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.
