Strongs On/Off
Context
36:1 So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the Lord has put skill and ability to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary are to do the work according to all that the Lord has commanded .”
36:2 Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the Lord had put skill – everyone whose heart stirred him to volunteer to do the work ,
36:3 and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do the work for the service of the sanctuary , and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning .
36:4 So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work they were doing
36:5 and told Moses , “The people are bringing much more than is needed for the completion of the work which the Lord commanded us to do !”
36:6 Moses instructed them to take his message throughout the camp , saying , “Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary .” So the people were restrained from bringing any more.
36:7 Now the materials were more than enough for them to do all the work .
The Building of the Tabernacle
36:8 All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet ; they were made with cherubim that were the work of an artistic designer .
36:9 The length of one curtain was forty-two feet , and the width of one curtain was six feet – the same size for each of the curtains .

NET Notes: Exo 36:5 The last clause is merely the infinitive with an object – “to do it.” It clearly means the skilled workers are to do it.

NET Notes: Exo 36:6 The verse ends with the infinitive serving as the object of the preposition: “from bringing.”
