What does Exodus 35:1 mean?
And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children
of
Israel together
According to Jarchi, on the morrow after the day of atonement;
that is, the next day after his descent from the mount, being
desirous of setting about the building of the tabernacle, and
making all things appertaining to it as soon as possible; which
had been retarded through the sin of the golden calf, and making
reconciliation for that:
and said unto them, these are the words which the Lord
hath
commanded, that ye should do them;
namely, the law of the sabbath, as it had a peculiar relation to
the making of the tabernacle, and the freewill offerings to be
made on that account; for as for the commands, or other
ordinances, whether ceremonial or judicial, the people had been
made acquainted with them before.
