קְח֨וּ מֵֽאִתְּכֶ֤ם תְּרוּמָה֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כֹּ֚ל נְדִ֣יב לִבּ֔וֹ יְבִיאֶ֕הָ אֵ֖ת תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה זָהָ֥ב וָכֶ֖סֶף וּנְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

Rashi on Exodus
נדיב לבו [WHOSOEVER] IS OF A WILLING HEART — Because his heart prompts one to generosity, he is called נדיב לב, one who is prompted to generosity by the heart. I have already explained the various materials which formed the contribution towards the Tabernacle and the work done for it in the passages where the commands about them were given.

Ramban on Exodus
Y’VI’EHA’ (LET HIM BRING IT), THE ETERNAL’S OFFERING. This is like “yavi (let him bring) the Eternal’s offering.” But Scripture mentions a pronoun and then returns to explain it. Similarly: And she opened and saw him, the child;19Above, 2:6 when he went in, the man;20Ezekiel 10:3. It should have said: b’vo ha’ish — when the man went in. the nation and the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar;21Jeremiah 27:8. which I do give to them, the children of Israel.22Joshua 1:2. There are many similar instances.
By way of the Truth, [the mystic lore of the Cabala], the phrase here is like “let him bring it ‘with’ the Eternal’s offering,” meaning that he is to bring the higher offering as alluded to in the secret of and they take for Me an offering.23Above, 25:2. I have already explained it.24Ibid., Verse 3. Our Rabbis have a Midrash25Sotah 12b. on the verse, and she opened and saw him, the child,19Above, 2:6 that she saw with him the Divine Glory.
Now it was necessary for Moses to tell the whole congregation all the work which G-d had commanded him, in order to let them know that they had to bring large donations, for the work is great.26I Chronicles 29:1. That is why he told them, The Tabernacle, its tent, and its covering etc.,27Verse 11. mentioning all in a general way. The reason for the definite article in ‘eth hamishkan’ (the Tabernacle),27Verse 11. ‘eth ha’aron’ (the ark),28Verse 12. ‘eth hashulchan’ (the table),29Verse 13. and all those mentioned with the definite article, is as if to say: “the Tabernacle and the vessels which we will explain to the wise men doing the work in their details and measurements,” but speaking now to the whole congregation, he told them only their names in general.
