Exodus 36:3-7

3 tradidit eis universa donaria filiorum Israhel qui cum instarent operi cotidie mane vota populus offerebat

4 unde artifices venire conpulsi

5 dixerunt Mosi plus offert populus quam necessarium est

6 iussit ergo Moses praeconis voce cantari nec vir nec mulier quicquam ultra offerat in opere sanctuarii sicque cessatum est a muneribus offerendis

7 eo quod oblata sufficerent et superabundarent
