11 'The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, 12 'The ark and its staves, the mercy-seat, and the vail of the covering, 13 'The table and its staves, and all its vessels, and the bread of the presence, 14 'And the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil for the light, 15 'And the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the opening at the opening of the tabernacle, 16 'The altar of burnt-offering and the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base, 17 'The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court, 18 'The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords, 19 'The coloured garments, to do service in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to act as priest in.'
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 35:11-19
Commentary on Exodus 35:4-19
(Read Exodus 35:4-19)
The tabernacle was to be dedicated to the honour of God, and used in his service; and therefore what was brought for it, was an offering to the Lord. The rule is, Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring. All that were skilful must work. God dispenses his gifts; and as every man hath received, so he must minister, 1 Corinthians 12:7-21.
