Êxodo 35
Cole - Egypt excelled in the production of linen, especially twined linen, where every thread was twisted from many strands. (TOTC-Ex) THOUGHT - Fine linen is associated with meeting with God in the sanctuary on earth and in the consummation of all things will be associated with the meeting of the Bride, the Church, with her Bridegroom at the marriage supper of the Lamb, John writing "Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready. It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints." (Rev 19:7-8+) Exodus 35:7 and rams' skins dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood, Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passage: Exodus 25:5 rams’ skins dyed red, porpoise skins, acacia wood, and rams' skins dyed red, and porpoise skins, and acacia wood - Acacia wood was almost always associated with the construction of the tabernacle. It was a desert wood which was aromatic, hard, durable and darker than the oak. See Bush's extensive notes on skins and wood in commentary on Exodus 25:4. Exodus 35:8 and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, And oil: Ex 27:20 spices : Ex 25:1-40 Ex 30:23,28 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passage: Exodus 25:6 oil for lighting, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, Exodus 30:23 “Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred and fifty, and of fragrant cane two hundred and fifty, and oil for lighting, and spices for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense, Spurgeon on oil for lighting - Not every kind of oil could be used in the Lord’s service. Neither the petroleum that exudes so plentifully from the earth, nor the produce of fish, nor that extracted from nuts would be accepted; only one oil was selected, and that was the best olive oil. Pretended grace from natural goodness, fancied grace from priestly hands, or imaginary grace from outward ceremonies will never serve the true child of God; he knows the Lord would not be pleased with rivers of such oil. He goes to the olive press of Gethsemane and draws his supplies from him who was crushed there. The oil of gospel grace is pure and free from sediment and dregs, and so the light that is fed by it is clear and bright. Our churches are the Savior’s golden candelabra, and if they are to be lights in this dark world, they must have plenty of holy oil. Let us pray for ourselves, our ministers, and our churches that they may never lack oil for the light. Truth, holiness, joy, knowledge, love—these are all beams of the sacred light; but we cannot send them out into the darkness unless in private we receive oil from God the Holy Spirit. Bush on spices - Heb. בשמים besamim. Gr. θυμιαματα, incenses. The term includes all the odoriferous ingredients which were employed in the composition of the ‘anointing oil’ or the ointment by which the altar of incense and all the vessels of the ark were hallowed, and lastly, in the incense which was burnt upon the altar. Bush on for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense - "Heb. לקטרת הסמים liktoreth hassammim, for the burning of sweet odors; i. e. upon the golden altar that stood in the holy place. Comp Ex. 30:22–28." (Bush)
Êxodo 35
Cole - The pattern is now still further widened: every man can give a gift, even he who has no skill to work, whether it be articles of personal jewelry or raw materials. Hamilton - The novel element here is that both men and women respond to the plea with their gifts, resources, and talents (vv. 22, 25–26, 29). Exodus 35:22 Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the LORD. brooches and earrings and signet rings: Ex 32:3 Nu 31:50 Isa 3:19 Eze 16:11 every man who presented an offering of gold to the LORD: 1Ch 29:6,7 2Ch 24:9-14 Ezr 2:68,69 Ne 7:70-72 Isa 60:9,13 Mt 2:11 Mk 12:41-44 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women,came - Bush - And they came, both men and women. Heb. האנשים על הנשים haanashim al hannashim, the men upon, over and above, in addition to, the women; a peculiar phraseology, which implies, according to the Jewish critic Abrabanel, that the women came first and presented their offerings, and were then followed by the men. This sense is approved by Cartwright, one of the soundest commentators who has ever undertaken to illustrate the Scriptures from Rabbinical sources. Nor has the prompt and forward obedience of woman ever belied this character in any age of the world. and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings - Bush - And brought bracelets and ear-rings, &c. Their offerings were various according to their various possessions. They show themselves, if any thing, more forward to give to the service of God than they had before been to contribute to the fabrication of the golden calf. There we read of ear-rings only having been offered, but here of all kinds of precious articles, as if nothing was too good or too rich to be parted with for the honor of God. Indeed it would seem from the final clause of v. 22, that the spirit of the offerers was so acceptable in the sight of God that he regarded every offering, whatever it was, as an offering of gold. Even the goats’ hair and rams’ skins acquired so high a value in his esteem from the motives which prompted the givers that they were accounted as oblations of pure gold! and bracelets, all articles of gold - (KJV = tablets, all jewels of gold) Bush - Tablets. Heb. כומז kumaz This is a very doubtful word, occurring only here and in Num. 31:50. Geddes, Boothroyd, and others render it by ‘lockets,’ answering to the Roman ‘bulla,’ or the ‘baccatum monile’ of Virgil, which was a necklace formed of gems or precious stones, resembling berries. Such trinkets are still worn by the Arabians. Bochart supposes it was a kind of supporting girdle worn by the women round the bosom. The Editor of the Pictorial Bible, on the other hand, supposes it to have been an ornamented hoop or band surrounding the head. His plates represent such an ornament among the articles of Egyptian costume. They were at any rate probably a part of the spoils obtained from the Egyptians. so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the LORD - Bush - Every man that offered. Heb. הניף hëniph, that waved; from the circumstance of their oblations being heaved up and waved when offered to the Lord; consequently called, Ex. 38:24, ‘a wave-offering.’ Exodus 35:23 Every man, who had in his possession blue and purple and scarlet material and fine linen and goats' hair and rams' skins dyed red and porpoise skins, brought them. Ex 35:6-10 25:2-7 1Ch 29:8 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Every man, who had in his possession blue and purple and scarlet material and fine linen and goats' hair and rams' skins dyed red and porpoise skins, brought them. Exodus 35:24 Everyone who could make a contribution of silver and bronze brought the LORD'S contribution; and every man who had in his possession acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. everyone: 2Co 8:12 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Everyone who could make a contribution of silver and bronze brought the LORD'S contribution; and every man who had in his possession acacia wood for any work of the service brought it. Alan Cole - The women could spin (Prov. 31:13) and the wealthier chieftains could bring the precious stones and spices (verses 27, 28). All have a part in building the sanctuary for YHWH, and, without each playing his peculiar part, it cannot be completed (cf. Eph. 4:16). Here again is a message for us today. Exodus 35:25 All the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen. Ex 28:3 31:6 36:1 2Ki 23:7 Pr 14:1 31:19-24 Lu 8:2,3 Ac 9:39 Ro 16:1-4,6,12 Ga 3:28 Php 4:3 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries All the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen. Ryken - The reason the Bible singles these women out is to show that their gifts were essential to God’s work. Building the tabernacle was a job for both men and women, according to their gifts. The women of Israel were not called to serve as elders or prophets. But rather than getting hung up on what they weren’t called to do, these women were eager to do what God had called them to do. They are a beautiful example of willing service and joyful submission to God. The church needs the same kind of women today—women who are willing to serve God from the heart. Bush - And all the women that were wise-hearted, &c. The sense in which ‘wisdom’ is predicated of all these various arts and handicrafts has been already explained above on v. 10. Here it appears that the women were as forward in the good work as the men. They were not only willing to give, but to make. They not only resigned their ornaments, but went immediately to work by spinning and weaving to fabricate such articles of tapestry as were needed for the tabernacle. As all are interested in the worship of God, so all should bear a part in it. The wellbeing and happiness of woman is in a special manner vitally involved in the existence and maintenance of religious institutions, and why should she not be active in promoting them? So in the early history of the church, the Christian tabernacle, there were ‘women which labored in the gospel,’ Phil. 4:3, and of whom Paul again says, Rom. 16:12, that they ‘labored in the Lord.’ Exodus 35:26 All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' hair. Ex 35:21,29 36:8 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' hair. Exodus 35:27 The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the breastpiece; Ex 35:9 1Ch 29:6 Ezr 2:68 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries The rulers brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the breastpiece - This is interesting. The text singles out not only women above, but now rulers, probably the leaders in the Israelite community who had more resources and could make some of the more costly contributions to the tabernacle. THOUGHT - This is a wonderful example for wealthy Christians. Money is a powerful tool for advancing the gospel. It can be used to support missionaries, plant churches, start schools, publish literature, broadcast the gospel, show mercy, and provide for the needs of the church. Christians with substantial financial resources have a unique calling to help accomplish great things for the kingdom of God. Of course, there is a sense in which God doesn’t need any money at all, any more than he needs any of us. He can get his work done without any help. Yet he gives us an opportunity to participate in his saving work by using our time and our talents—including our money—to serve him. Those of us who have the most should give the most. This is why God has made us rich: so he has more money to use for ministry! As our income rises, so should our commitment to making more and more costly sacrifices for the kingdom of God. (Ryken) Exodus 35:28 and the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense. Ex 35:8 30:23-38 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries and the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense Hamilton - Verses 27–28 identify the “leaders” (hannĕśiʾim) as the ones who bring, among other items, the oil for lighting the menorah and the oil of unction for anointing. Lev. 24:2 assigns the responsibility for donating the oil to light the menorah’s lamps to all “Israelites,” not just to the chieftains or leaders of the Israelites. Possibly Exod. 35:27–28 refers to just the original supply of oil at Sinai, while Lev. 24:2 refers to what becomes standard procedure. Exodus 35:29 The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the LORD. NET Exodus 35:29 The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the LORD, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do. NLT Exodus 35:29 So the people of Israel-- every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the LORD had given them through Moses-- brought their gifts and gave them freely to the LORD. ESV Exodus 35:29 All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the LORD had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the LORD. NIV Exodus 35:29 All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do. KJV Exodus 35:29 The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses. LXE Exodus 35:29 And every man and woman whose mind inclined them to come in and do all the works as many as the Lord appointed them to do by Moses-- they the children of Israel brought an offering to the Lord. ASV Exodus 35:29 The children of Israel brought a freewill-offering unto Jehovah; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which Jehovah had commanded to be made by Moses. CSB Exodus 35:29 So the Israelites brought a freewill offering to the LORD, all the men and women whose hearts prompted them to bring something for all the work that the LORD, through Moses, had commanded to be done. NKJ Exodus 35:29 The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to the LORD, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the LORD, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done. NRS Exodus 35:29 All the Israelite men and women whose hearts made them willing to bring anything for the work that the LORD had commanded by Moses to be done, brought it as a freewill offering to the LORD. YLT Exodus 35:29 every man and woman (whom their heart hath made willing to bring in for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) of the sons of Israel brought in a willing-offering to Jehovah. whose heart: Ex 35:21,22 1Ch 29:3,6,9,10,14,17 Jud 5:2,9 1Co 9:17 2Co 9:7 the LORD: Ex 35:4 De 4:2 11:32 12:32 Isa 8:20 Mt 28:20 1Co 3:5 Ga 6:16 2Pe 1:19 2Ti 3:15-17 Exodus 35 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries HEARTS MOVED TO THE LORD'S WORK The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the LORD - Hearts moved is what we all need to experience to participate in the work of the Lord. Too often we are moved by a persuasive pastor or motivational speaker, but the best movement is when we are moved by the LORD, surely a reflection of soft hearts receptive to the Spirit's work to pursue the glory of God. Hamilton says "God does not sovereignly pick the donors. There are no consequences for non-participation. If you wish not to part with your pendants or linens, then keep them. " THOUGHT - I would disagree slightly with Hamilton -- while it may not be a penalty for not participating, it is missing the opportunity of a life time to participate in the eternal work of the LORD. How short-sighted we are to look at the things which are seen and not see with spiritual eyes the things that are eternal (2 Cor 4:18+). Lord, please give all who are reading this spiritual eyes to see eternity NOW, not just when receive our glorified sight. In Jesus' Name. Amen! (Memorize and practice in the power of the Spirit Mt 6:19-21+). Related Resources: Redeem the Time Vertical Vision Bush - The children of Israel brought a willing offering, every man and woman, &c. Heb. נדבה nedabah, a free-will gift. The same word is rendered in v. 3, of the ensuing chapter, ‘free-offering.’ No other impulse was needed than the generous promptings of their own bosoms to draw from them the most liberal donations to the good work in hand. Even the maidens, who are not prone to forget their ornaments, now readily divested themselves of their bracelets, pendants, and jewels to swell the amount of the general contribution, as if more anxious for the beautifying of the sanctuary than the decoration of their own persons. One spirit seems to have pervaded the whole people. Whatever any one possessed that could be applied to the projected structure, he instantly wrote upon it ‘Corban,’ and dedicated it to the service of God. Each doubtless thought himself rich, not in proportion to what he retained for his own use, but to the supplies he was able to contribute. In this way the genuine influence of the gospel always operates. Its converts in every age are represented as coming unto God, ‘their gold and their silver with them.’ However deaf may have been their earthly treasures to their hearts, yet the love of Christ will relax their tenacious grasp upon them, and they will be willing, at the call of duty, to part with that which they most value, and deem it a privilege to give up their all to him who has bought them with his blood. How little is to be lost by a liberal policy and how heartily we are to adopt it, is clearly taught in the words of Paul, 2 Cor. 9:6, 7, ‘But this I say, be which soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.’ O what might not be done for the honor of God and the welfare of man, if this noble spirit every where prevailed, and men gave to the utmost of their ability! How easy would it be to erect places of worship, to maintain a settled ministry, to supply the wants of the poor, to send the gospel to the heathen, to administer instruction to the ignorant, consolation to the troubled, relief to the distressed! Well may it shame the world and the church that a concern for trifles crowds out these great objects from their minds; that their own petty interests take precedence of the infinite and eternal interests of God and his kingdom.
