And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. The goat hair that forms the outer tent requires both willingness and skill. The repetition of willing alongside skilled is deliberate: the skill without willingness is withheld talent; the willingness without skill is misplaced enthusiasm. The women who have both — the skill to spin goat hair and the willingness to give it — are the exact provision the outer tent requires. Every gift placed in willing service is precisely sufficient for the work God has designed it to accomplish.
