Exodus 36:2-7

Good News Translation

The People Bring Many Gifts

² Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other skilled men to whom the Lord had given ability and who were willing to help, and Moses told them to start working. ³ They received from him all the offerings which the Israelites had brought for constructing the sacred Tent. But the people of Israel continued to bring Moses their offerings every morning. ⁴ Then the skilled men who were doing the work went ⁵ and told Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the work which the Lord commanded to be done.”

⁶ So Moses sent a command throughout the camp that no one was to make any further contribution for the sacred Tent; so the people did not bring any more. ⁷ What had already been brought was more than enough to finish all the work.
