And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 4 And all thejskillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each fromkthe work whichlhe was performing, 5 and they said tomMoses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for thenconstruction work which the LORD commanded us tooperform.” 6 So Moses issued a command, and approclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer perform work for theqcontributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7 For thermaterial they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it. | |
