Context — The People Bring More than Enough

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

3They 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,

4so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work 5and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”

Exodus 36:3 Summary

[Exodus 36:3 shows us that the Israelites were eager to give to God's work, bringing contributions morning after morning to support the construction of the sanctuary. This verse reminds us that giving is a form of worship and service to God, as seen in Romans 12:1, where Paul encourages believers to offer their bodies as living sacrifices. The Israelites' generosity was a response to God's blessing and provision, and we can learn from their example by cultivating a spirit of cheerful giving in our own lives. By giving generously, we can participate in God's work and honor Him, just as the Israelites did in Exodus 36:3.]

(3) They brought yet unto him free offerings.—The liberality of the people continued.

Compare the liberality shown when David was collecting materials for the Temple (1 Chronicles 29:6-9); and, again, when Zerubbabel was about to rear up the second Temple on the return from the Captivity (Ezra 2:68-70; Nehemiah 7:70-72).
