35:4 摩西對以色列全會眾說:「耶和華所吩咐的是這樣:
35:5 你們中間要拿禮物獻給耶和華,凡樂意獻的可以拿耶和華的禮物來,就是金、銀、銅,
35:6 藍色、紫色、朱紅色線,細麻,山羊毛,
35:7 染紅的公羊皮,海狗皮,皂莢木,
35:8 點燈的油,並做膏油和香的香料,
35:9 紅瑪瑙與別樣的寶石,可以鑲嵌在以弗得和胸牌上。」
Moses said to the whole Israelite
community, “This is what the Lord has commanded: From what you have, take an offering for the
Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold,
silver and bronze; blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; ram
skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood; olive oil for
the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; and onyx
stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

這些東西是耶和華要求以色列人獻給祂的,但是奉獻的人是出於樂意不是勉牆來的。
這也是人事奉上帝的態度,人若是要表現自己的虔誠,而不是出於感恩與敬畏,就不是甘心樂意的了!
我們要心被恩感的來事奉上帝,才蒙上帝喜悅,才能歸上帝為聖!
