Contextual Overview

1 Then Moses gathered together all the people of Israel, saying, "These are the things that the Lord has told you to do. 2 Work may be done for six days. But the seventh day will be a holy day for you, a Day of Rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on this day will be put to death. 3 Do not make a fire in any of your tents on the Day of Rest." 4 Moses said to all the people of Israel, "This is what the Lord has told you to do. 5 Take from among you a gift to the Lord. Whoever has a willing heart, let him bring the Lord's gift: gold, silver and brass, 6 and blue, purple and red cloth, fine linen, cloth made from goat hair, 7 rams' skins made red, badgers' skins and acacia wood, 8 lamp oil, spices for the oil for holy use and for the sweet-smelling perfume, 9 onyx stones and stones to be set for the linen vest and the breast-piece. 10 "Let every able workman among you come and make all that the Lord has told us to make:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The ark and the staves thereof,.... To carry it with, which were all made of shittim wood:

[with] the mercy seat; made of pure gold; these were set in the most holy place:

and the vail of the covering; which divided between the holy and the holy of holies; of these see Exodus 25:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The covering - This is not the same as the covering of Exodus 35:11, which denotes the covering of the tent (see Exodus 26:14): the word is used here for the entrance curtains (see Exodus 26:36; Exodus 27:16).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 35:12. The ark — See Exodus 25:10-17.
