Exodus 36:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 36:5

3 And they received from Moses all the ^aoffering which the children of Israel ^bhad brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.

4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,

5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, ^a“The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”

6 So 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,

7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too ^amuch.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size.
