Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 36:6
And 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.
The women did part of this work as well as the men. See Exo 35:25

And Moses gave commandment,…. Orders to some proper person or persons about him;
and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, or “caused a voice to pass”; a crier or herald, as the Targums, who went through the camp and published in every quarter:
saying, let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary; as the men in cutting shittim wood, and planing it, and the women in spinning blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and goats’ hair:
so the people were restrained from bringing; that is, any more: instead of a spur to liberality, which most want, a restraint was laid upon these to check it, and prevent an excess in it, of which there is rarely any danger; so eager, forward, and zealous were they in this good work.

(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 labourthread, goats hair yarn, and the like. (See Exo. 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?

When God puts grace into the heart, the hands will be diligently employed in every good work.
