I love this part of the story in Ex 36:3-7. The artisans working on the tabernacle told Moses that the people were giving too much. So Moses sent round an order that everyone had to stop bringing their offerings. They already had too much! What was the secret? It is summed up in the repetition of phrases like "hearts were moved" and "hearts were willing". The giving went beyond material things. People also gave their time and their skills and their talents. Thank God for such people today!

Contrast this with what we see in Matthew 27 -- Judas betraying Jesus for 30 pieces of silver!
