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 They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.”

6 Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much.

8 All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
