Commentators highlight that the Israelites, both men and women, gave up their personal, cherished jewelry. This wasn't just giving from their excess but sacrificing items of luxury and personal identity. As John Calvin notes, this demonstrated an 'extraordinary zeal' because they willingly parted with things people are normally very attached to for the honor of God.
