Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they with whom precious stones were found,.... Such as are mentioned 1 Chronicles 29:2

gave them to the treasure of the house of the Lord; to be laid up there:

by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite; who, and his sons, had the care of that treasury, 1 Chronicles 27:21.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare Exodus 35:27. The same spirit prevailed now as at the setting up of the tabernacle. Each offered what he had that was most precious.
