36“And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every ^agifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the ^bsanctuary, ¹shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”

The People Give More Than Enough

²Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone ^cwhose heart ²was stirred, to come and do the work. ³And they received from Moses all the ^doffering which the children of Israel ^ehad brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. ⁴Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, ⁵and they spoke to Moses, saying, ^f“The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”

⁶So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, ⁷for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too ^gmuch.
