27The leaders brought onyx stones and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod and breastplate. 28They also brought the spices and the olive oil for the lamps, the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense.

Commentaries on Exodus 35:29

• 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.
