They came, men and women alike,<n id="1" /> all who had willing hearts. They brought brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments, all kinds of gold jewelry,<n id="2" /> and everyone came who waved<n id="3" /> a wave offering of gold to the <sc>Lordsc>.p>

<p class="bodytext">The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the <sc>Lordsc>, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the <sc>Lordsc> through<n id="1" /> Moses had commanded them<n id="2" /> to do.p>
