SCRIPTURE

"And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats` [hair], and rams` skins dyed red, and sealskins, brought them." — Exodus 35:23 (ASV)

And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and
scarlet
Wool or yarn of either of the colours; unless it can be supposed there might be with some of them the ingredients with which colours were made, brought with them out of Egypt:

and fine linen ;
they had brought out of Egypt, and for which that country was famous:

and goats' [hair] ;
which in those countries was so long as to be shorn like the wool of sheep:

and red skins of the rams ;
died red, for it does not mean any that were naturally so, of which none are known:

and badgers' skins ;
see (Exodus 25:5) of each of these, such who had them in their possession, and their hearts were willing to part with them:

brought [them] ;
to Moses, to the tabernacle or tent where he was.
