Exodus 36:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 36:7

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to
make it
The gold, silver, brass, and precious stones, the wood and yarn, which had been already brought in, were sufficient for everything they were ordered to make:

and too much;
a great deal more than would be used; much would remain after all was wrought: what was done with this is not said, whether it was returned to the people, or laid up for the use of the tabernacle and service, as might hereafter be wanted; which latter seems most probable.

Exodus 36:7 In-Context

5 And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed to do.

6 And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.

7 And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.

8 And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

9 And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
