Exodus 36:6 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 36:6

And Moses gave commandment
Orders to some proper person or persons about him;

and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp,
or "caused a voice to pass"; a crier or herald, as the Targums, who went through the camp and published in every quarter:

saying, let neither man nor woman make any more work for the
offering of the sanctuary;
as the men in cutting shittim wood, and planing it, and the women in spinning blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and goats' hair:

so the people were restrained from bringing;
that is, any more: instead of a spur to liberality, which most want, a restraint was laid upon these to check it, and prevent an excess in it, of which there is rarely any danger; so eager, forward, and zealous were they in this good work.

Exodus 36:6 In-Context

4 Then the skilled men who were doing the work went

5 and told Moses, "The people are bringing more than is needed for the work which the Lord commanded to be done."

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.

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

8 The most skilled men among those doing the work made the Tent of the Lord's presence. They made it out of ten pieces of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures.
