"And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And they shall take,.... The Targum of Jonathan adds, out of their substance; that is, those that were wise hearted, and had knowledge and skill in making such garments; these
were to take, not out of their own personal substance, but they were to take or receive from Moses what the people freely offered for such service, Exo 36:3 , gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen; pieces of gold, which they beat into thin plates, and drew into wires, and which they worked into stuffs, woollen or linen, or both, of the colours here mentioned; all which were made use of in the ephod, girdle, breastplate, &c. see Exo 39:3 and had a mystical significance in them.
