6 So Moses sent out orders through the camp: "Men! Women! No more offerings for the building of the Sanctuary!"

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 All the artisans who were at work making everything involved in constructing the Sanctuary came, one after another,

5 to Moses, saying, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing this work that God has commanded us to do!"

6 So Moses sent out orders through the camp: "Men! Women! No more offerings for the building of the Sanctuary!"

7 There was plenty of material for all the work to be done. Enough and more than enough. The Tapestries

8 Then all the skilled artisans on The Dwelling made ten tapestries of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric with an angel-cherubim design worked into the material.
