Exodus 36:5

Read in context

Exodus 36:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning,

4 so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work

5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”

6 After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more,

7 since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.
