Moses also told
The name "Moses" is derived from the Hebrew "Mosheh," which is believed to mean "drawn out," reflecting his rescue from the Nile. Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, serving as a prophet, leader, and lawgiver. His role as a mediator between God and the Israelites is crucial, as he conveys divine instructions to the people. This phrase emphasizes Moses' leadership and his responsibility to communicate God's will to the Israelites, highlighting the importance of faithful transmission of divine commands.

the whole congregation of the Israelites
The term "congregation" comes from the Hebrew "edah," referring to an assembly or gathering. This phrase underscores the collective identity of the Israelites as God's chosen people. Historically, the Israelites were a nomadic people, and their unity was essential for survival and spiritual cohesion. The mention of "the whole congregation" signifies the inclusivity of God's message, intended for every member of the community, reinforcing the idea that divine instructions are meant for all, not just a select few.

This is what the LORD has commanded
The word "LORD" in the Hebrew text is "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God, often rendered as Yahweh. This name signifies God's eternal and self-existent nature. The phrase "has commanded" comes from the Hebrew "tsavah," meaning to give orders or instructions. This highlights the authoritative nature of God's words, which are not mere suggestions but divine mandates. The use of "commanded" reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where obedience to God's commands is a central aspect of their faith and identity. This phrase serves as a reminder of the divine authority behind the instructions Moses is about to deliver, calling the Israelites to attentive and reverent obedience.

THE PEOPLE INVITED TO OFFER THE MATERIALS OF THE TABERNACLE, AND TO ASSIST IN THE WORK.

(4-9) And Moses spake.--This passage is the sequence and counterpart of Exodus 25:1-7, and follows exactly the same order in the enumeration of the required offerings. Both passages equally declare the sine qua non of an acceptable offering to be "a willing heart" (Exodus 25:2; Exodus 35:5).

Verses 4-20. - THE PEOPLE INVITED TO BRING GIFTS, AND ASSIST IN THE WORK OF THE TABERNACLE. Having warned the Israelites against breaches of the sabbath, Moses proceeded to enumerate the offerings which God had said that they might bring (vers. 4-9), and the works which he had required to be constructed (vers. 10-19). In the former enumeration, he follows exactly the order and wording of the Divine command to himself, as recorded in Exodus 25:3-7; in the latter, he changes the order, mentioning first the building, with its component parts (ver. 11), then the contents of the building (vers. 12-15), then the court with its contents (vers. 16, 17) together with some details which had been omitted in the former account (ver. 18), and finally the holy garments (ver. 19). After hearing him, the people returned to their several tents (ver. 20).
