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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 35:22

(22) Both men and women . . . brought bracelets . . . —It is not quite certain what the personal ornaments here mentioned are.

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
