“And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.”
They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. The offerings were received — the first act of construction management is stewardship of what the community has given. And then the remarkable problem: the people continued to bring, morning after morning. The generosity of the community outlasts the immediate need. The construction project turns out to be overwhelmingly over-resourced. The morning-after-morning giving is the natural expression of a community transformed by the restoration of covenant relationship after the golden calf.
