(4) Moses said further to the whole community of Israelites: This is what the LORD has commanded: (5) Take from among you gifts to the LORD; everyone whose heart so moves him shall bring them—gifts for the LORD: gold, silver, and copper; (6) blue, purple, and crimson yarns, fine linen, and goats’ hair;
(10) And let all among you who are skilled come and make all that the LORD has commanded: (11) the Tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its clasps and its planks, its bars, its posts, and its sockets;
(2) Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had endowed with skill, everyone who excelled in ability, to undertake the task and carry it out. (3) They took over from Moses all the gifts that the Israelites had brought, to carry out the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary. But when these continued to bring freewill offerings to him morning after morning, (4) all the artisans who were engaged in the tasks of the sanctuary came, each from the task upon which he was engaged, (5) and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the tasks entailed in the work that the LORD has commanded to be done.” (6) Moses thereupon had this proclamation made throughout the camp: “Let no man or woman make further effort toward gifts for the sanctuary!” So the people stopped bringing: (7) their efforts had been more than enough for all the tasks to be done.
R. Johanan stated: On two mornings they brought everything required, as it is written: And they brought unto him free-will offerings every morning (Exod. 36:3),11The word boker (“morning”) is repeated in the text, indicating that it took two mornings. and they were sufficient. Thereupon Moses issued the order that was announced through the camp, that said: For the stuff they had was sufficient (ibid., vv. 6–7).
למלאכה אשר צוה ה' לעשות אותה. The donations of the people exceeded what was needed to perform the specific tasks which the Eternal One had commanded to be performed. God wanted no additions, nor omissions. This is expressed by the words לעשות אותה בלבד, “to perform only this task alone.” This was different from the Temples built by Solomon and Herod.
"That the Eternal gave wisdom to their heart." (Ex. 36:2) And the Torah interprets in what way the giving of wisdom belongs in the heart. Behold [the phrase], "everything is in the hands of the heavens, except for fear of the heavens." If so, [one] interprets "all whose heart was lifted" (Ex. 35:21) to apply also to the wisdom of the heart; to trust that one will be successful in the action that they choose to accept [upon themselves] in the interest of drawing near to the work [of constructing the tabernacle,] even though they had never learned that particular skill.
And truthfully, it is also true that for secular work, any work requires "uplifting of the heart." For instance, when a person comes to skillfully create a home, they teach that skill to little ones. And should he bring many children, they will choose what work they desire to engage in. One says "I want to do this" and another says "I want to do that." And the choice is then raised before them to learn for several years until the completion of the work they chose. With the creation of the Mishkan, too, each person's choice of skill was raised up to do, even without learning it at all, through the success of the Eternal One in speaking "whose heart was raised" (Ex. 35:21).
