Aliya Summary: Moshe announces G‑d's choice of Bezalel and Oholiav to serve as foremen of the Tabernacle construction project, and he transfers to them all the donated materials. The people, however, continued donating generously, until the craftspeople report to Moshe that they have more than enough materials to complete their task, causing Moshe to issue a proclamation requesting everyone to cease donating materials.
Heard from Rabbi Menachem Rottenberg, the then exec. dir. of Yeshiva of Central Queens: Look at the greatness of Bezalel (and his crew), who were able to work with the gold, silver, and copper, as well as with stone and wood. As gold craftsmen, it wasn't beneath them to work with stone and wood, as well.
