3And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.
4Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;
5And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.
6So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.
7For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.
8Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.
9Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
