Charles Ellicott Commentary Exodus 36:1

"And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded." — Exodus 36:1 (ASV)

This verse is introductory to the entire section, which may be viewed as extending from this point to the close of Exodus chapter 39. It states, in brief, that Bezaleel and Aholiab, with the skilled workmen at their disposal, proceeded to accomplish the work that Moses had committed to them, and carried it out according to all that the Lord had commanded—that is, according to the instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai and recorded in Exodus chapters 25–30.

The entire section is little more than a repetition of those chapters, differing from them merely in recording as done what had been ordered in them to be done. The minute exactness of the repetition is very remarkable and seems intended to teach the important lesson that acceptable obedience consists in a complete and exact observance of God’s commandments in all respects down to the minutest point.
