Bezalel, Oholiab, and the craftsmen begin the work of the sanctuary. The people bring offerings so generously that Moses tells them to stop.

Exodus 36:1–7 Easy: Then Moses said, ‘Bezalel and Oholiab will do the work that the Lord has commanded us to do. Everyone that the Lord has helped to have special skills will work with them. They will help to build the tabernacle and all the other special things that the Lord has commanded.’ Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab and all the other people who had special skills to come together. The Lord had given them these skills and they wanted to start the work. They received from Moses all the gifts that the Israelites had chosen to bring. They had brought gifts that would help to build the tabernacle and the other special things. The Israelites continued to bring more gifts to Moses every morning. Then all the workers who had special skills stopped doing their work. They left their work on the tabernacle and they went to speak to Moses. They said to Moses, ‘The people are bringing many more gifts than we need to finish the tabernacle, as the Lord commanded us to do.’So Moses sent a message to everyone in the whole camp. He said, ‘No man or woman must offer any more gifts for the work of the tabernacle.’ When the people heard Moses’ message, they did not bring any more gifts. The workers already had more things than they needed to finish all the work.

Lord Jesus, You call and equip Your people for the work You give. Receive our willing hearts and generous hands. Teach us to offer what we have with joy, trusting that You will provide more than enough. May all we give be used for Your dwelling among us. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen and Amen.
