2. Mose 35:27

The precious stones for the robes of the high priest, and the spices for the incense and anointing oil, were presented by the princes of the congregation, who had such costly things in their possession.

What should have been said and done upon Moses' coming down the first time from the mount, if the golden calf had not broken the measures and put all into disorder, now at last, when with great difficulty reconciliation was made, begins to be said and done; and that great affair of the setting up of God's worship is put into its former channel again, and goes on now without interruption. I. Moses gives Israel those instructions, received from God, which required immediate observance. 1. Concerning the sabbath (Exo 35:1-3). 2. Concerning the contribution that was to be made for the erecting of the tabernacle (Exo 35:4-9). 3. Concerning the framing of the tabernacle and the utensils of it (Exo 35:10-19). II. The people bring in their contributions (Exo 35:20-29). III. The head-workmen are nominated (Exo 35:30, etc.).
