exodus-35:22

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 35:20-29

Moses having made known to them the will of God, they went home and immediately put in practice what they had heard, Exod. 35:20. O that every congregation would thus depart from the hearing of the word of God, with a full resolution to be doers of the same! Observe here, I. The offerings that were brought for the service of the tabernacle (Exod. 35:21), concerning which many things may be noted. 1. It is intimated that they brought their offerings immediately; they departed to their tents... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 35:22

And they came both men and women, as many as were willing hearted ,.... And none else were asked to come; and this supposes, that as there were many of both sexes that were quite cordial, and heartily willing to contribute to the uttermost of what they had for this service, so there were others that were not: and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets ; the first of these, according to our version, seem to be ornaments, not about the neck, but the hands and arms, or... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:22

As many as were willing-hearted - For no one was forced to lend his help in this sacred work; all was a free-will offering to the Lord. Bracelets - חח chach , whatever hooks together; ornaments for the wrists, arms, legs, or neck. Ear-rings - נזם nezem , see this explained Genesis 24:22 ; (note). Rings - טבעת tabbaath , from טבי taba , to penetrate, enter into; probably rings for the fingers. Tablets - כומז cumaz , a word only used here and in Numbers... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:22

Verse 22 22.And they came, both men and women. Express mention is made of the women, not only whose bounty, but whose labors, as it soon afterwards appears, God designed to make use of in the work of the sanctuary. Moses magnifies the fervor of their pious desires, because they did not spare their ornaments; of which people, and especially women, are generally so fond, that they would rather suffer cold, hunger, or thirst, than touch them. (294) It was, therefore, a sign of no ordinary zeal to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 35:21-29

Zeal in offering. Appeals are made to men, in all parts of the world, and in all ages, for material contributions towards the erection of structures in which God is to be worshipped. The spirit in which such appeals are met varies. I. DEVOUT . None objected. None asked why a tabernacle was wanted, or why the tent which Moses had made a place of worship would not suffice. None scoffed at the idea of a "House of God." All seemed to see the propriety of it. All felt that what they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 35:22

They came, both men and women . That among the Hebrews gold ornaments were worn by men, as well as by women, is indicated by Exodus 3:22 , and Exodus 32:2 . The Egyptian men at the time of the Exodus wore armlets, bracelets, and sometimes anklets, but not often earrings Earrings, however, had been worn by the household of Jacob ( Genesis 35:2 ). Bracelets . Rather, "buckles" or "brooches." Kalisch says, "nose-rings," and so Gesenins and Rosenmuller. Tablets . Rather, "armlets"... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 35:22

Bracelets - Rather, brooches.Earrings - The Hebrew word signifies a ring, either for the nose (see Genesis 24:22) or for the ear Exodus 32:2; Genesis 35:4. That ear-rings, not nose-rings, are here meant is confirmed by what we know of early Hebrew and Egyptian customs.Rings - Signet rings.Tablets - More probably, armlets. It is most likely that all the articles mentioned in this verse were of gold. The indulgence of private luxury was thus given up for the honor of the Lord. Compare Exodus... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 35:21-22

Exodus 35:21-22. Every one whom his spirit made willing What they did they did cheerfully. They were willing; and it was not any external inducement that made them so, but their spirits. It was from a principle of love to God and his service; a desire of his presence with them by his ordinances, gratitude for the great things he had done for them, and faith in his promises of what he would do further. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 35:1-35

35:1-40:38 CONSTRUCTION OF THE TABERNACLEThis section largely repeats the instruction given on the mountain in Chapters 25-31. It emphasizes that the people had to do God’s work according to his covenant requirements. Therefore, they were to keep the Sabbath (35:1-3; cf. 31:16). If they wanted God to accept their offerings for the building of the tabernacle, they had to present those offerings in a spirit of joy and willingness (35:4-29). Though all could give offerings, only those with the... read more
