Exodus 36:5

Context
36:5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than 1  is needed for the completion 2  of the work which the Lord commanded us to do!” 3 

1 tn The construction uses the verbal hendiadys: מַרְבִּים לְהָבִיא (marbim lÿhavi’) is the Hiphil participle followed (after the subject) by the Hiphil infinitive construct. It would read, “they multiply…to bring,” meaning, “they bring more” than is needed.

2 tn Heb “for the service” (so KJV, ASV).

3 tn The last clause is merely the infinitive with an object – “to do it.” It clearly means the skilled workers are to do it.
