The People Bring More than Enough

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 work⁵and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”

This passage highlights the importance of having a willing heart and a sense of community when serving God, showing that God's work is best accomplished when His people come together in harmony and selflessness.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

Then the wise workmen came, every one from his work that they were making, and said to Moses, "Much make the people to bring, more than suffices for the labour (the finishing, as in Exo 27:19) of the work," i.e., they are bringing more than will be wanted for carrying out the work (the מן in מדּי is comparative); whereupon Moses let the cry go through the camp, i.e., had proclamation made, "No one is to make any more property (מלאכה as in Exo 22:7, Exo 22:10, cf. Gen 33:14) for a holy heave-offering," i.e., to prepare anything more from his own property to offer for the building of the sanctuary; and with this he put a stop to any further offerings.
