Context of Exodus 35:29

27The 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. Many 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. 30Then Moses said to the Israelites, ‘Listen! The Lord has chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and the grandson of Hur. He belongs to the tribe of Judah. 31The Lord has filled him with his Spirit so that he has special skills. He knows how to make many kinds of things.

Those who are diligent and contented in employments considered mean, are as much accepted of God as those engaged in splendid services.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 4-35Much of the report about building the Tent of Meeting repeats what 25:1–31:18 said. 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).

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-351. Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel, &c.--On the occasion referred to in the opening of this chapter, the Israelites were specially reminded of the design to erect a magnificent tabernacle for the regular worship of God, as well as of the leading articles that were required to furnish that sacred edifice [Ex 35:11-19].
