Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:30

The Skilled Overseers Are Described To The People (Exodus 35:30 to Exodus 36:1 ).

Exodus 35:30 to Exodus 36:7 P s. The Craftsmen and their Supplies.— The first paragraph (to Exodus 36:1) describes the call of Bezalel and Oholiab ( cf. Exodus 31:2 ff.).

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.

Indeed, the world would be accursed... read more
