35:20-29
The people then withdrew from Moses and those who were willing brought their offerings to the Lord. Note the importance of being willing. All the giving was directed towards the building of the tabernacle. The skilled women are also mentioned. The offerings were freewill offerings.
35:30-35
Bezalel and Oholiab were mentioned at the beginning of chapter 31. The wording is very similar here. Bezalel has been given various types of skills and wisdom by the Lord, and these were given in order for him to do the work of the Lord. Oholiab is named alongside him. As well as being given skills and wisdom, they were given the ability to teach others. So we learn two important aspects related to the gifts we have. They are given in order to enable us to serve the Lord, and so that we can teach others.
