Exodus 36:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 36:4

And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the
sanctuary
The ingenious artificers who were employed, some in one thing, and some in another, either on the tabernacle itself, or the vessels of it, and things appertaining to it;

came every man from his work which they made;
left off their work by mutual consent and agreement, and came in a body to Moses.

Exodus 36:4 In-Context

2 Moshe summoned B'tzal'el, Oholi'av and every craftsman to whom ADONAI had given wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come and take part in the work.

3 They received from Moshe all the offering which the people of Isra'el had brought for the work of building the sanctuary. But they still kept bringing voluntary offerings every morning,

4 until all the craftsmen doing the work for the sanctuary left the work they were involved with

5 to tell Moshe, "The people are bringing far more than is needed to do the work ADONAI has ordered done."

6 So Moshe gave an order which was proclaimed throughout the camp: "Neither men nor women are to make any further efforts for the sanctuary offering." In this way, the people were restrained from making additional contributions.
