Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 36:7
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it,…. The gold, silver, brass, and precious stones, the wood and yarn, which had been already brought in, were sufficient for everything they were ordered to make:
and too much; a great deal more than would be used; much would remain after all was wrought: what was done with this is not said, whether it was returned to the people, or laid up for the use of the tabernacle and service, as might hereafter be wanted; which latter seems most probable.

So, Joh 6:28 , “They said unto him, What shall we do that we may work the works of God?” Men would fain have heaven as a purchase. I would swim through a sea of brimstone, said one, that I might come to heaven at last. But what said our Saviour to those questionists in Joh 6:29 ? “This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” And what said Luther? Walk in the heaven of the promise, but in the earth of the law; that in respect of believing, this of working. Many poor souls can think of nothing but working themselves to life. We must do all righteousness, but rest in none but Christ’s.
