You will honor the Lord by resting on that special day. Anyone who works on the seventh day must be killed. 3 On the Sabbath you should not even light a fire in any of the places where you live." 4 Moses said to all the Israelites, "This is what the Lord commanded: 5 Gather special gifts for the Lord . Each of you should decide in your heart what you will give. And then you should bring that gift to the Lord . Bring gold, silver, and bronze; 6 blue, purple, and red yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood; 8 oil for the lamps; spices for the anointing oil and spices for the sweet-smelling incense. 9 Also, bring onyx stones and other jewels to be put on the ephod and the judgment pouch. 10 "All of you who are skilled workers should make all the things the Lord commanded:

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.
