Contextual Overview

20 And all the congregation of the sons of Israel went out from Moses. 21 And they came, every one whose heart was lifted up, and everyone whose spirit made him willing. They brought the offering of Jehovah for the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. 22 And the men came in together with the women, everyone willing of heart. They brought in bracelets, and nose rings, and rings, and ornaments, every gold article, and every one who waved a wave offering of gold to Jehovah. 23 And everyone with whom blue was found, and purple, and crimson, and bleached linen , and goats' hair , and rams' skins dyed red, and dugong skins, they brought. 24 Everyone rising up with an offering of silver and bronze, they brought the offering of Jehovah; and everyone with whom was found acacia wood for any work of the service, they brought. 25 And every wise-hearted woman spun with her hands; and they brought spun yarn, blue, and purple, and crimson and bleached linen . 26 And all the women whose hearts were lifted up in wisdom spun the goats' hair . 27 And the leaders brought the onyx stones, and stones for the setting, for the ephod and for the breast pocket, 28 and the spice, and the oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the perfumes. 29 And every man and woman whose hearts made them willing to bring for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by the hand of Moses; the sons of Israel brought a willing offering to Jehovah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom,.... To be ingenious in their business, and to study to do it in a curious manner, and to do that which others could not:

spun goats' [hair]; some join the phrase, "in wisdom", in the preceding clause with this, neglecting the accent "Athnach", which divides them, thus, "in wisdom spun goats' hair"; and which, without being separated from the preceding clause, may be understood and repeated in this: for, as Aben Ezra says, to spin goats' hair was an art that required excellent wisdom; and so Jarchi: in the eastern countries there is a sort of goats' hair very bright and fine, and hangs to the ground, and the beauty of it is equal almost to that of silk, and is never sheared, but combed off, and the women of the country spin it; and at this day a great trade is driven with it at Angora and Aleppo c.

c Calmet in the word "Hair".
