What materials were collected for the tabernacle in Exodus 35?
Exodus 35 records that Moses told Israel to bring a willing offering to the Lord: gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, stones, and stones to be set for the ephod and breastplate. The people also brought materials for the tabernacle, its tent, covering, boards, bars, pillars, candlestick, lamps, anointing oil, and incense.
Les explains that in Exodus 35, Moses had come down with the second tables of law, and the Sabbath day was renewed and Israel was reminded of it. Moses spoke to all the congregation, saying the Lord commanded them to take from among themselves an offering, whosoever is of a willing heart. Those willing were to bring the Lord's offering: gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, and so on. Verse 9 mentions anic stones and stones to be set for the ephod and breastplate. Verse 11 lists the tabernacle, its tent, covering, tashes, boards, bars, pillars, and so forth. Verse 14 includes the candlestick for the light, furniture, lamps, incense for the altar, the stave, anointing oil, and so on. Les notes all this material was to be brought, and in verse 22, they came.

And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
