Êxodo 36

Êxodo 36

Guzik - even willing hearts need to be told, now is the time to give. Moses let them know, and the people started bringing their offering to the LORD. THOUGHT - I fear that there are times when the Spirit stirs our (my) heart and yet we (I) resist His still small voice. Lord, give us hearts sensitive to Your Spirit's stirrings for the sake of Your great Name. In the Name of Jesus. Amen. Exodus 36:3 They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. the offering: Ex 35:5-21,27,29 every morning: Ps 5:3 101:8 Pr 8:15 Isa 50:4 Jer 21:12 Exodus 36 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries CONTINUAL NON-COERCED CONTRIBUTIONS They received from Moses all the contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. - For contributions see comments on Ex 35:5-21. The contributions were free will offering. Young's Literal calls contributions "heave offerings." The Hebrew word for contribution (teruwmah). Bush - And they received of Moses all the offering, &c. Heb. כל התרומח kol hatterumah, all the heaving, or heave-offering. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning - The hearts were aflame for God's work and this prompted continual offerings. Every morning is literally morning by morning and is a "Hebrew idiom which extends the action—that is, it indicates that the activity is continuous." (Currid) Bush - And they brought yet unto him free-offerings every morning. Heb. בקר בקר boker boker, morning, morning. They kept it up from day to day, and how long they would have gone on, if not restrained, no one can tell. But we are not left merely to admire their conduct. (THOUGHT) ‘We should always make it our morning’s work to bring our offering unto the Lord, even the spiritual offerings of prayer and praise, and a broken heart surrendered entirely to God. This is that which the duty of every day requires. God’s compassions are new every morning, and so should our offerings be, our free offerings: God’s grace to us is free, and so should our duty to him be.’ Henry. Guzik - This follows the pattern of God’s giving to us. God gives us much more than we ever need, and our giving is simply a response to His. G Campbell
