So Moses issued a command
The phrase begins with Moses, the leader chosen by God to guide the Israelites. The Hebrew root for "command" is "tsavah," which implies a directive given with authority. Moses, as God's appointed leader, acts with divine authority. This highlights the importance of obedience to God’s appointed leaders and the orderly conduct within the community of faith. It reflects the principle that God’s work is to be done according to His instructions, emphasizing the need for structure and leadership in spiritual endeavors.

and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp
The word "proclamation" comes from the Hebrew "qol," meaning voice or sound. This suggests a public announcement, ensuring that everyone in the camp hears and understands the directive. The camp represents the community of God's people, and the circulation of the proclamation underscores the unity and collective responsibility of the Israelites. It serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication within the body of believers and the need for everyone to be informed and involved in the work of God.

No man or woman should make anything else
This phrase indicates inclusivity, as both men and women are addressed. The Hebrew words for "man" and "woman" are "ish" and "ishah," respectively, highlighting the equal responsibility and participation of all members of the community in the work of the sanctuary. The directive to cease making offerings signifies that the needs of the sanctuary have been met, reflecting God’s provision and the people’s generosity. It teaches the principle of sufficiency and contentment, recognizing when enough has been given and the importance of not overburdening the community.

as an offering for the sanctuary
The term "offering" is derived from the Hebrew "terumah," which refers to a contribution or gift set apart for a sacred purpose. The sanctuary, or "mishkan," is the dwelling place of God among His people. This highlights the sacredness of the offerings and the purpose they serve in facilitating worship and communion with God. It underscores the concept of giving as an act of worship and the importance of dedicating resources to the service of God’s presence among His people.

So the people were restrained from bringing more
The word "restrained" comes from the Hebrew "kala," meaning to hold back or stop. This indicates that the people’s willingness to give exceeded the need, demonstrating their generous hearts and commitment to God’s work. It serves as an inspirational example of sacrificial giving and the joy of contributing to God’s purposes. The restraint also teaches the importance of wise stewardship and the recognition of when to cease collecting resources, ensuring that offerings are used effectively and not wasted.

(6) So the people were restrained from giving.--Moses felt it necessary to interfere, and forbid further offerings. By the expression, "Let neither man nor woman make any more work, it would seem that the superfluous offerings were chiefly such things as were produced by labour--thread, goats' hair yarn, and the like. (See Exodus 35:25-26.) The humblest class of contributors would thus appear to have shown itself the most zealous. When will Christian liberality be so excessive as to require to be "restrained"?

Verse 6. - Moses accordingly had proclamation made through the camp, and so put a stop to further offerings.
