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 Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab. He sent for every skilled worker to whom the LORD had given ability and who wanted to come and do the work.

3 They received from Moses all of the offerings the people of Israel had brought. They had brought the offerings for all of the work for every purpose connected with the holy tent. That included setting it up. The people kept bringing the offerings they chose to give. They brought them morning after morning.

4 So all of the skilled workers who were working on the holy tent stopped what they were doing.

5 They said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded us to do."

6 Then Moses gave an order. A message was sent through the whole camp. It said, "No man or woman should make anything else and offer it for the holy tent." And so the people were kept from bringing more offerings.
