Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 35:30-35

30-35 Here is the Divine appointment of the master-workmen, that there might be no strife for the office, and that all who were employed in the work might take direction from, and give account to them. Those whom God called by name to his service, he filled with the Spirit of God. Skill, even in worldly employments, is God's gift, and comes from above. But many are ready enough in cutting out work for other people, and can tell what this man or that man should do; but the burdens they bind on... read more

And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the Lord hath called by name: Bezaleel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; v. 31. and He hath filled him with the Spirit of God, his natural talent and love of the work being increased and intensified by the Lord Himself, in wisdom, to devise and plan ornaments, in understanding, to make the pattern applicable to the work in hand, and in knowledge, practical sense, and in all manner of... read more

Wise-hearted Workers for the Tabernacle Exodus 35:30-35 ; Exodus 36:1-8 “What were the driving motives of this marvelous outburst of generosity? They remembered that Jehovah had brought them forth from Egypt, destroying their foes and liberating them from slavery. Again they heard the rattle of the pursuing chariots and the clash of arms! Again they thought of the march through the oozy bottom of the sea, while the walls of water stood on either side, irradiated with the glow of the cloud... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Exodus 35:1-35

This and the four following chapters contain the account of the actual building of the Tabernacle. At the very commencement the Sabbath obligation was again declared. The people were then called on to bring their offerings, the appeal being made to those who had willing hearts. Giving was to be the outward and sacramental sign of the inward grace of devotion to the will of God. It is noticeable that among the offerings the ornaments of the people were conspicuous. It would seem as though this... read more

Exodus 35:30 to Exodus 36:7 P s. The Craftsmen and their Supplies.— The first paragraph (to Exodus 36:1) describes the call of Bezalel and Oholiab ( cf. Exodus 31:2 ff.).

Exodus 36:8-Zechariah : P s. The Tent.— This section comes first instead of following the account of its contents as in Exodus 36:26. The... read more

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Exodus 35:30-35GENIUSNo more instructive chapter on human genius has ever been written than this. It tells us what genius is. It traces it to its origin. It describes its duties and responsibilities. It warns us of the dangers to which it is exposed. Bezaleel and Aholiab are representative men. They belong to a class which comprises the poets, philosophers, sculptors, artists, and skilled artizans of every age. The narrative suggests—I. What genius is.1. Wisdom... read more

And Moses gathered the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that you shall do them. Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever does any work therein shall be put to death.
