Exodus - 35:16 Meaning

“The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

35:4-19 The tabernacle was to be dedicated to the honour of God, and used in his service; and therefore what was brought for it, was an offering to the Lord. The rule is, Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring. All that were skilful must work. God dispenses his gifts; and as every man hath received, so he must minister, 1Pe 4:10. Those that were rich, must bring in materials to work on; those that were skilful, must serve the tabernacle with their skill: as they needed one another, so the tabernacle needed them both, 1Co 12:7-21.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
