The People Bring Many Gifts (EXO 36:2-7)

[36:2] Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other skilled men to whom the Lord had given ability and who were willing to help, and Moses told them to start working.

[36:3] They received from him all the offerings which the Israelites had brought for constructing the sacred Tent. But the people of Israel continued to bring Moses their offerings every morning.

[36:4] Then the skilled men who were doing the work went

[36:5] and told Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the work which the Lord commanded to be done.”

[36:6] So Moses sent a command throughout the camp that no one was to make any further contribution for the sacred Tent; so the people did not bring any more.

[36:7] What had already been brought was more than enough to finish all the work.
