Context of Exodus 35:27
25Every skilled woman spun yarn with her hands and brought it: blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen. 26And all the women whose hearts were moved spun the goat hair by virtue of their skill. The leaders brought onyx and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece, 28as well as the spice and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29So 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.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 20-29Verses 20-29 Without a willing mind, costly offerings would be abhorred; with it, the smallest will be accepted.
