Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day,[7] a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.[8]"And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 35:31

Exodus 35:31. Hath filled him with the Spirit of God— What we call genius is, in common language, the gift of nature; that is, the gift of God, the Author of nature. Hence the heathens were wont to ascribe to their gods the extraordinary skill in arts which any man had without a teacher. (See the 22nd Dissertation of Maximus Tyrius.) And this was one reason why they called poets divine, or divinely inspired, ενθεοι . (See Petit Miscellan. Obser. lib. 1:) We have observed before, that any... read more

30. See, the Lord hath called by name Bezaleel, the son of Uri, c.—Moses had made this communication before [see :- also see on Exodus 35:3]. But now that the collection had been made, the materials were contributed, and the operations of building about to be commenced, it was with the greatest propriety he reminded the people that the individuals entrusted with the application of their gold and silver had been nominated to the work by authority to which all would bow. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 35:30-35

BEZALEEL AND AHOLIAB SET OVER THE WORK.(30-35) This passage is the sequel to Exodus 31:1-6, where Bezaleel and Aholiab were designated for their respective offices, and follows closely the order, and even the wording, of that passage. The verbal resemblance is even greater in the original than in the Authorised Version. The only additions made are in Exodus 35:34-35.(34) He hath put in his heart that he may teach.—It was essential that the two master-craftsmen should be able to instruct their... read more

CHAPTER XXXV.THE CONCLUSION.Exodus 35:1-35 - Exodus 40:1-38.The remainder of the narrative sets forth in terms almost identical with the directions already given, the manner in which the Divine injunctions were obeyed. The people, purified in heart by danger, chastisement and shame, brought much more than was required. A quarter of a million would poorly represent the value of the shrine in which, at the last, Moses and Aaron approached their God, while the cloud covered the tent and the glory... read more
