Шмот 35:1 Мидраш: Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael, Midrash Tanchuma & Bamidbar Rabbah

(Exod. 35:1:) THEN MOSES ASSEMBLED…. (Exod. 35:30:) AND MOSES SAID UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL: SEE, THE LORD HAS CALLED <BEZALEL…> BY NAME. This text is related (to Eccl. 7:1): A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN GOOD OIL; for in the case of good oil, how far does its fragrance travel?¹Exod. R. 48:1; Eccl. R. 7:1:1; M. Sam. 23; Parashiyyot miMidrash Tanhuma K.Y., in A. Jellinek, Beth ha-Midrasch (Leipzig: C.W. Vollrath, 1853–77, vol. 6, pp. 104–05. One or two miles?²Lat.: mille. But a good name travels the earth from one end to the other. Ergo (in Eccl. 7:1): A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN GOOD OIL.

(Exodus 35:1) "And Moses assembled, etc." What is the intent of this section? From (Ibid. 25:8) "and they shall make for Me a sanctuary," I might think both on a weekday and on the Sabbath. And how would I understand (Ibid. 31:14) "Those who profane it shall be put to death"? As referring to their labors, other than those for the sanctuary. (Or, even to the labors for the sanctuary.) And how would I understand "And they shall make for Me a sanctuary"? As referring to other days, other than the Sabbath. Or, even on the Sabbath, etc.

(Exodus 35:1) "These are the things that the L–rd commanded us to do": Rebbi says: to include the thirty-nine (Sabbath) labors forbidden to them orally by Moses.
