Exodus 35
"And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them, These are the words which Jehovah hath commanded, that ye should do them." — Exodus 35:1 (ASV)
The narrative of what relates to the construction of the sanctuary is now resumed from (Exodus 31:18).
"Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death." — Exodus 35:2 (ASV)
See Exodus 31:12.
"Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day." — Exodus 35:3 (ASV)
This prohibition is here first distinctly expressed, but it is implied (Exodus 16:23).
"the tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;" — Exodus 35:11 (ASV)
See (Exodus 26:1–37). It has been already observed (Exodus 25:10) that in the instructions for making the sanctuary, the ark of the covenant, as the principal thing belonging to it, is mentioned first; but in the practical order of the work, as it is here arranged, the tabernacle with its tent and covering come first.
"the ark, and the staves thereof, the mercy-seat, and the veil of the screen;" — Exodus 35:12 (ASV)
The covering - This is not the same as the covering of (Exodus 35:11), which denotes the covering of the tent : the word is used here for the entrance curtains (Exodus 27:16).
