Exodus 36:1-7 - Willing Workers

1 Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled craftsmen to whom the LORD gave wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work in constructing the sanctuary are to do everything that the LORD has commanded."

2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people to whom the LORD had given ability, including everyone whose hearts stirred them to come forward to do the work. 3 They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelis had brought for doing the work of constructing the sanctuary, and the people continued to bring freewill offerings every morning.

4 All the craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left the work they were doing 5 and told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the work that the LORD has commanded us to do."

6 Then Moses issued an order, and the message was taken throughout the camp, "Men and women, don't bring any more offerings for the sanctuary." The people were restrained from bringing any more, 7 since the material was more than sufficient for doing all the work.
