Exodus 36:3

IsraelMoses
Generosity

1 “So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the LORD, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work.

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.”
