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.
