All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offerings

Exodus 35:1-35 36:7. 38:21-31

For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 

Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses’ presence, and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments.

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.

Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills.

And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.

These chapters record how the instructions given in chapters 25-31 are carried out o the letter. The craftsmen set to work, the people pour in their gifts, and the Tabernacle, its fittings, and the priests' robes are all completed exactly as God has laid down.

Why?

To build the Terbanacle is not the job of Moses but the work of the whole Israelite. So all the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the Lord freewill offering for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.

Bezalel and Oholiab are the chosen ones with the skill and wisdom to do the work of the Terbanacle.

So as a Christian have to devote to the Lord with freewill offering, not only the tenth but also the love to do the work for the Lord.

 1-3 守安息日,6次吩咐建造藍圖,第七次神曉諭摩西,守安息日。神先工作再安息。人在地上的日子則是先安息,再工作。因為人要先在主裏得到安息,與主有緊密的關係,我們才有力量工作,才可能服事神。神一切工作的目的在為人預備人的安息。我們不是只求神的恩典。我們被拯救是要用真理公義來服事神。

4-19 吩咐百姓來奉獻,來建造。

20-29 聽道的目的是行出來。百姓都甘心樂意奉獻給神,榮耀神,奉獻的人將得到更多的恩典。奉獻是件快樂的事情,能夠奉獻是神的恩典,時候過了,神不一定要接受我們的奉獻。

36:3-7 奉獻到富富有餘。若有人此時才想要奉獻,已經不需要了,因此我們要把握奉獻的機會。若神不給我們機會我們也無法奉獻。所以能夠奉獻是神給我們機會,給我們恩典。

會幕支架銀座的都是贖銀,每個人的贖價都相同。神的工作神會負責,如同教會的建造,即使有餘,也不能多收,浪費,多取些!完全用在聖工上。

How?

Obey the word of the Lord and follow the instruction of the Holy Spirit guiding me. Make me closer and walk on the way God has shown me.
