So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp saying, "Let neither man nor woman any longer perform work for the contribution of the sanctuary. Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. Exodus 36:6
Do we know the difference between law giving and grace giving? Basically, law giving is "got to", and grace giving is "get to". These people had previously thought that all of God's blessing belonged to them. After a great ordeal of God's wrath and God's grace, their minds were changed. Under God's grace, when the call went out for the building of the Ark of the Covenant, they abounded in giving, and had to be restrained. Let's no longer think what we "have to do", and start praising God for what we "get to do".
