Exodus 35:24 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 35:24

Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass
brought the Lord's offering
Every one that had any quantity of either of these, whose heart was inclined freely to part therewith, brought it as a freewill offering to the Lord:

and every man with whom was shittim wood;
or acacia, a sort of wood which grew pretty plentifully in those parts; and such who had cut it down for some use or another, and were disposed to part with it

for any work of the service;
of which many things were to be made, whether they were trees they had felled, or planks and boards they had cut them into:

brought [it];
a sufficient quantity of it, for the various uses it was to be put unto.

Exodus 35:24 In-Context

22 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.
23 If any man had violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, fine linen and goats’ hair, ram skins dyed red, and violet coloured skins,
24 Metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, and setim wood for divers uses.
25 The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
26 And goats’ hair, giving all of their own accord.
