26 All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' hair.
27 The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the breastpiece;
28 and 1the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.
29 The Israelites *, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a 2freewill offering to the LORD.
30 3Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, "See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 "And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all craftsmanship;
32 to make designs for working in gold and in silver and in bronze,
33 and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work.
34 "He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and 4Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 "5He has filled them with skill * to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in blue and in purple and in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.

Exodus 35:25-35 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.
