Context of Exodus 35:27
25All the women who knew how to make things used their hands to make material. They brought what they had made: blue, purple and red material and good linen. 26Other clever women used goats' hair to make cloth. They did that because they wanted to help. The leaders of the Israelites brought onyx stones and other jewels to fix on the ephod and on the breastpiece. 28They also brought spices and olive oil. These things were to burn in the lamps, and to make the special oil and the sweet incense. 29Many Israelites chose to offer gifts to the Lord. Men and women all brought the gifts that they had decided to bring. Moses had told them about the work that the Lord had commanded them to do. So they brought these things to help with the work.

- 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.

The women who spun the goats' hair were wise-hearted, because they did it heartily to the Lord. Thus the labourer, mechanic, or…Read the comment

There is a change from the imperative mood to the indicative, and there are certain changes in the order. This repetition emphasizes that the work was done exactly as God commanded (see 40:16). The people had tried to secure God's presence their own way with the gold calf, which led to disaster. Now, by following God's way, they received blessings (40:34–38).Read the comment
