Exodus 35:6

4 Moses also told the whole congregation of Israel, “This is what the LORD has commanded:

5 Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Let everyone whose heart is willing bring an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;

blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;

7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;

8 olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
