So all the skilled craftsmen
The phrase "skilled craftsmen" refers to individuals endowed with specific talents and abilities necessary for the construction of the sanctuary. In Hebrew, the word for "skilled" is "חָכָם" (chakam), which implies wisdom and expertise. This highlights the importance of God-given talents and the role of human skill in fulfilling divine purposes. The craftsmen were not just laborers; they were artisans with a divine calling, reflecting the biblical principle that all work done for God should be done with excellence and dedication.

who were doing all the work
This phrase emphasizes the active participation and diligence of the craftsmen. The Hebrew root "עָשָׂה" (asah) means "to do" or "to make," indicating that the work was ongoing and required continuous effort. It underscores the idea that building the sanctuary was a collaborative and dynamic process, involving the collective effort of the community. This serves as a reminder that the work of God often requires sustained commitment and cooperation among His people.

on the sanctuary
The term "sanctuary" refers to the sacred space where God's presence would dwell among the Israelites. In Hebrew, "מִקְדָּשׁ" (miqdash) signifies a holy place set apart for worship. The construction of the sanctuary was not merely a physical task but a spiritual endeavor, symbolizing the intersection of heaven and earth. It reflects the biblical theme of holiness and the call for God's people to create spaces where His presence can be experienced and revered.

left their work
The action of leaving their work suggests a pause or interruption in their labor. This could imply a moment of reflection, consultation, or response to a directive. In the broader context of Exodus 36, it indicates the craftsmen's responsiveness to Moses' leadership and the community's overwhelming generosity in providing materials for the sanctuary. This phrase highlights the importance of obedience and adaptability in the service of God, as well as the need to prioritize divine instructions over personal agendas.

Verses 4, 5. - At last, remonstrance had to be made. The workmen were cumbered with an overplus of material - an embarras de richesses - and came in a body to Moses, to make complaint. All the wise men came, every man from his work, with the cry "The people bring much more than enough - we are hampered in our work by the too great abundance - let an end be put to it."
