Context — Offerings for the Tabernacle
5Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
6blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
7ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
8olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 9and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.Exodus 35:7 Summary
Exodus 35:7 lists the materials needed to build the tabernacle, including ram skins dyed red, fine leather, and acacia wood. These materials were used to create a beautiful and functional place of worship, where God would dwell among His people (Exodus 25:8). Just as the Israelites used their best resources to build the tabernacle, we can offer our best to God in worship and service (Romans 12:1). By doing so, we can create a 'tabernacle' in our own hearts, where God can dwell and guide us (1 Corinthians 3:16).
