Exodus 35:8
6 blue, purple, and scarlet yarn; fine linen and goat hair;
7 ram skins dyed red and fine leather; acacia wood;
olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;
9 and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10 Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the LORD has commanded:
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.
