Commentary
3 notes on this verseThis site's exposition
And every wise hearted among you shall come
on Exodus 35:10-14
Skill is described here as wisdom, and the phrase governs the chapter, falling on the workmen at verse 10, on the women at verse 25, and on the two named masters at verse 35 where it reads wisdom of heart. The word wisdom first occurs in Scripture at Exodus 28:3, where it is given to craftsmen making priestly garments, before any king is said to have it. The inventory begins with the tabernacle and its boards, where chapter 25 began with the ark, so this is the order a builder works in rather than the order God spoke in.

The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture,.... The tongs and snuff dishes: and his lamps, with the oil for the light; the cups, in which were put the oil and the wicks to burn and give light, as Jarchi interprets them; of these see Exo 25:31.
How the passage was read
What the Jewish commentators add
