22So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry.

Exodus 35:21 Summary
[This verse shows us that the people were motivated to give to the LORD's work because their hearts were stirred and their spirits were prompted. In simple terms, they felt a strong desire to give and support the LORD's work, and they responded to that desire by bringing their offerings. This is similar to what we see in 2 Corinthians 9:7, where it says that God loves a cheerful giver. The people's giving was not just about giving money, but about supporting the work of the LORD and using their skills and resources to help others, as we see in Exodus 35:22-23 and Exodus 31:1-11.]

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Exodus 35:21
Whose heart stirred him up, i.e. whose heart being desirous and ready to serve God, engaged his hand to offer what he had to his service.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 35:21
THE ZEAL OF THE PEOPLE IN AND IN THE WORK.(21) They came, every one whose heart stirred him up.—All classes came, “men and women” (Exodus 35:22), rich and poor, “rulers” (Exodus 35:27), and those whose only skill was to “spin with their hands” (Exodus 35:25). And the great majority gave freely—to the utmost of their power. Still it is implied, both here and in Exodus 35:22; Exodus 35:29, that there were some whose hearts did not stir them up. Enough and to spare, was, however, contributed, and at last the people had to be “restrained from bringing” (Exodus 36:8). The Lord’s offering—i.e., “their offering to Jehovah.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Exodus 35:21
