Commentary

2 notes on this verse
And spice and oil,.... Such excellent spices and precious oil, pure oil olive, as the common people had not, and which they brought out of Egypt; the one was for the light: for the light of the candlestick only; the oil, and other spices: were for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense; the spices for the former were pure myrrh, sweet cinnamon, sweet calamus and cassia; and for the latter, stacte, onycha, galbanum, with pure frankincense.

This site's exposition

And the rulers brought onyx stones

on Exodus 35:27-29

The rulers come last in the account and what they bring is the stone for the ephod and the breastplate. Exodus 28:9-12 engraves those two onyx stones with the names of the children of Israel and sets them on the high priest's shoulders for a memorial, so the men who head the tribes supply the stones that will carry the tribes' names before the LORD. The paragraph closes by calling the whole of it a willing offering and by putting it back under what the LORD had commanded by the hand of Moses.
