SCRIPTURE

"of gold for the [things of] gold, and of silver for the [things of] silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. Who then offereth willingly to consecrate himself this day unto Jehovah?" — 1 Chronicles 29:5 (ASV)

The gold for things of gold.—Literally: as for the gold, for the gold, and as for the silver, for the silver—that is to say, “I give it” (1 Chronicles 29:3)—and for every work by the hand of craftsmen.

And who then is willing to consecrate his service?—Literally, And who volunteers (Judges 5:1) to fill his hand today for Jehovah? To fill his hand: that is, with a liberal offering (Exodus 32:29).
