Exodus 35:1-19

1 And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said to them, These [are] the words which the LORD hath commanded, that [ye] should do them.
2 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whoever doth work therein shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath-day.
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
5 Take ye from among you an offering to the LORD: whoever [is] of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
6 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' [hair],
7 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
8 And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
9 And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breast-plate.
10 And every wise-hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
11 The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its buttons, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,
12 The ark, and its staffs, [with] the mercy-seat, and the vail of the covering,
13 The table, and its staffs, and all its vessels, and the show-bread,
14 The candlestick also for the light, and its furniture, and its lamps, with the oil for the light,
15 And the incense-altar, and its staffs, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entrance of the tabernacle,
16 The altar of burnt-offering, with its brazen grate, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
17 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
18 The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
19 The clothes of service, to do service in the holy [place], the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

Exodus 35:1-19 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.
