3 Moses gave them all the gift offerings that the Israelites had contributed to the work on the sanctuary. They kept bringing him spontaneous gifts, morning after morning.
4 Finally, all the skilled workers building the sanctuary left their work that they were doing one by one to come
5 and say to Moses, "The people are contributing way too much material for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do."
6 So Moses issued a command that was proclaimed throughout the camp: "Every man and woman should stop making gift offerings for the sanctuary project." So the people stopped bringing anything more
7 because what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.
8 All the skilled workers made the dwelling out of ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and deep red yarns, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into their design.
9 Each curtain was forty-two feet long and six feet wide. All the curtains were the same size.
