How preachers through history handled this text
10 public-domain excerpts on Exodus 35, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“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, 1Pe 4:10. Those that were rich, must bring in materials to work on; those that were skilful, must serve the tabernacle with their skill: as they needed one another, so the tabernacle needed them both, 1Co 12:7-21.”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Exodus 35:4–19 (Public Domain)
