Context of Exodus 35:20
18the pegs of the Tabernacle and of the courtyard, along with their cords; 19the woven garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the kohen and for his sons, to minister as kohanim.” Then all the congregation of Bnei-Yisrael departed from before Moses. 21Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit was willing came and brought Adonai’s offering for the work of the Tent of Meeting and for all its service as well as for the holy garments. 22So they came, both men and women, everyone whose heart compelled him, and brought nose rings, earrings, signet rings, bracelets, and all kinds of golden jewels—everyone who brought a wave offering of gold to Adonai.

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
