Chp. 35 verses 1 & 2: Introduction, Moshe gathers all the people on the day after he comes down from the mountain with the second set of tablets. This included the women, which was not the norm. He told them all the things that Hashem had commanded them to do. He begins with the Shabbos, since it is equal to all the commandments in the Torah. He tells them to work six days but the seventh day should be a holy to them and a solemn day of rest to Hashem. Whoever would desecrate the day with any work would be put to death.

Others who had a generous heart and also those who desired and found that they had special talents to create those artifacts that were needed for the Tabernacle. All of these works were overseen and instructed by Bezalel and Oholiab, who were from the tribes of Yehudah and Dan. Hashem filled them with all types of wisdom in all manners of skillful workmanship, in all crafts and weaving.
