‏ Exodus 36:4-6

Exo 36:4-6

Then the wise workmen came, every one from his work that they were making, and said to Moses, “Much make the people to bring, more than suffices for the labour (the finishing, as in Exo 27:19) of the work,” i.e., they are bringing more than will be wanted for carrying out the work (the מן in מדּי is comparative); whereupon Moses let the cry go through the camp, i.e., had proclamation made, “No one is to make any more property (מלאכה as in Exo 22:7, Exo 22:10, cf. Gen 33:14) for a holy heave-offering,” i.e., to prepare anything more from his own property to offer for the building of the sanctuary; and with this he put a stop to any further offerings.
