Exodus 36:7 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 36:7

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to
make it
The gold, silver, brass, and precious stones, the wood and yarn, which had been already brought in, were sufficient for everything they were ordered to make:

and too much;
a great deal more than would be used; much would remain after all was wrought: what was done with this is not said, whether it was returned to the people, or laid up for the use of the tabernacle and service, as might hereafter be wanted; which latter seems most probable.

Exodus 36:7 In-Context

5 to Moses, saying, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing this work that God has commanded us to do!"
6 So Moses sent out orders through the camp: "Men! Women! No more offerings for the building of the Sanctuary!"
7 There was plenty of material for all the work to be done. Enough and more than enough. The Tapestries
8 Then all the skilled artisans on The Dwelling made ten tapestries of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric with an angel-cherubim design worked into the material.
9 Each panel of tapestry was forty-six feet long and six feet wide.
