Translation commentary on Exod 35:32 - 35:33

These two verses are identical with 31.4-5 in every way, the only exception being the addition of the word skilled at the end of verse 33. For work in every skilled craft is literally “for work in every mission of design.” The word for skilled in verse 33 is another form of the word translated as artistic designs in verse 32.
