Discovery BoxExodus 35:5-9 
Context35:5 ‘Take 1 an offering for the Lord. Let everyone who has a willing heart 2 bring 3 an offering to the Lord: 4 gold, silver, bronze, 35:6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, fine linen, goat’s hair, 35:7 ram skins dyed red, fine leather, 5 acacia wood, 35:8 olive oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense, 35:9 onyx stones, and other gems 6 for mounting 7 on the ephod and the breastpiece.
1 tn Heb “from with you.”
2 tn “Heart” is a genitive of specification, clarifying in what way they might be “willing.” The heart refers to their will, their choices.
3 tn The verb has a suffix that is the direct object, but the suffixed object is qualified by the second accusative: “let him bring it, an offering.”
4 tn The phrase is literally “the offering of Yahweh”; it could be a simple possessive, “Yahweh’s offering,” but a genitive that indicates the indirect object is more appropriate.
5 tn See the note on this phrase in Exod 25:5.
6 tn Heb “and stones.”
7 tn Heb “filling.”
