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 So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the LORD and were eager to get to work.

3 Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.

4 Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

5 They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the LORD has commanded us to do!”

6 So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.
