Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Exodus 36:30
And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
Ellicott's Commentary on Exodus 36:30
(30) Under every board two sockets.—This is undoubtedly the true meaning; but it can scarcely be elicited from the present text. The words, takhath hak-keresh ha-ekhâd, which ought to have been repeated twice, as they are in Exodus 26:25, have accidentally fallen out here in one place.
