F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Exodus 35:20-29

Free Gifts for the Tabernacle Exodus 35:20-29 The people departed to think over their response to Moses’ appeal, and then returned. How long had elapsed? Did Moses speak in the morning, and did they return in the cool of the evening? And what a rich profusion of gifts did they contribute! Here one of the princes brought a priceless jewel; here again were crowds of ordinary people bringing precious amulets, ear-rings, nose-rings and other jewelry, in which Orientals take great delight. Large... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 35:1-35

This and the four following chapters contain the account of the actual building of the Tabernacle. At the very commencement the Sabbath obligation was again declared. The people were then called on to bring their offerings, the appeal being made to those who had willing hearts. Giving was to be the outward and sacramental sign of the inward grace of devotion to the will of God. It is noticeable that among the offerings the ornaments of the people were conspicuous. It would seem as though this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:20-29

The People Bring Gifts In Abundance (Exodus 35:20-29 ). Exodus 35:20-22 ‘And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and brought Yahweh’s offering, for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing-hearted, and brought brooches, and earrings, and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:1-29

Exodus 35-40. P s . The Construction and Erection of the Sacred Tent.— This division of the book is generally recognised as coming from the latest stratum in the Hexateuch. This conclusion can be denied (as recently by A. H. Finn in JThS 16:449– 481) only by those who ignore the number, variety, and independence of the converging lines of proof which point to it. The clearest and most specific ground for it is that the later elements in the appendix (Exodus 30 f.) to Exodus 25-29 are here... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Exodus 35:20-29

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 35:20-29HINTS FOR BUILDING COMMITTEESThe wishes of God were made known in the previous section, and the people forth with resolved themselves into a committee of ways and means for carrying those wishes out. The action of the committee was—I. Immediate, Exodus 35:20-21. They did not hold a meeting to take into consideration the recommendations, and adopt the report. Nor did they elect a chairman, secretary, and working committee, to advise when, where,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Exodus 35:1-35

And Moses gathered the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that you shall do them. 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: whosoever does any work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitation on the sabbath day ( Exodus 35:1-3 ).So one of the strongest parts of the tradition of the Jews today remains... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 35:1-35

The six last chapters of this book are chiefly a repetition of what the Lord had commanded Moses. Hence the substance of them has been anticipated. REFLECTIONS. God who commanded his sanctuary to be made, has counted the costs, by amply providing the means of its erection. The gifts we find must proceed from a willing heart, and the work must be achieved by those whose spirit he had stirred up. The nation, men, women, and artists, were all cheerfully employed in preparing the habitation of the... read more
