Context: Exodus 36
5And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
7For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
9The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

Commentary
Exodus 36 is a chapter that speaks to the generosity of the Israelites in providing for the building of the tabernacle. The Lord had commanded Moses to have the people of Israel provide for the building of the tabernacle, and the people responded with great enthusiasm. They brought so much material that Moses had to tell them to stop bringing more. This speaks to the faithfulness of the Israelites in following the Lord's commands.
