EXODUS 35:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.”
All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do. The comprehensive summary: all the Israelites, men and women, willing, freewill offerings, all the work. Every element of the giving is acknowledged: the universality, the inclusivity, the disposition, the form, and the purpose. The freewill offering that funds the tabernacle is the Old Testament precedent for the voluntary giving Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 8–9. The community that gives willingly and comprehensively is the community that has understood what the dwelling means.
