Exo 36:2–7

36:2 More than enough materials donated

2 So Mosheh (Moses) summoned Betsalel and Oholiav, as well as anyone else who felt to help and had been given the appropriate skills by Yahweh, 3 and they took away all the contributions that the Israelis had brought to Mosheh to be used for the construction of the sacred tent. However the people still continued to bring voluntary offerings every morning. 4 So all those skilled people came over to start on the work of making the sacred tent, Holy Place came, leaving behind the work that they had been doing, 5 and they informed Mosheh, “The people are bringing way more than enough to use for the work that Yahweh has instructed us to do.”

6 So with Mosheh’s agreement, they spread a message around the camp saying, “Please don’t bring any more contributions for the sacred tent.” So the people—men and women—stopped bringing donations 7 as they had already collected more than enough materials for all the work.
