Sabbath Regulations
Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: 
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a day of sabbath rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it is to be put to death. 
Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Materials for the Tabernacle
Moses said to the whole Israelite community, “This is what the Lord has commanded:   
From what you have, take an offering for the Lord. Everyone who is willing is to bring to the Lord an offering of gold, silver and bronze; 
blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair; 
ram skins dyed red and another type of durable leather; acacia wood; 
olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense; 
and onyx stones and other gems to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.
10  “All who are skilled among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 
11  the tabernacle with its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 
12  the ark with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain that shields it; 
13  the table with its poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 
14  the lampstand that is for light with its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 
15  the altar of incense with its poles, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at the entrance to the tabernacle; 
16  the altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin with its stand; 
17  the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; 
18  the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; 
19  the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary—both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests.”

灵/修指南

摩西召集以色列全会众,向他们强调守安息日为圣日的重要,并要求在安息日这一天,一切的住处都不可生火(1~3节)。接着,摩西又要求百姓为会幕奉献,并提出两个原则:一是以自己所拥有的来奉献,二是带着甘心乐意的态度来奉献(5节)。换句话说,百姓要带着献上自己的心志,将所拥有的献给 SHEN ,不可勉强,而要甘心乐意献上。接着,摩西吩咐百姓当中心里有智慧的人,来制造 SHEN 所吩咐的器具(10节)。经/文说的“心里有智慧的人”虽然可以理解为“具有良好技术的人”,但更深层的意涵是:人若将才干和恩赐为 SHEN 所用, SHEN 就会赐下更大的智慧。可见相对于能力,摩西在建造会幕时强调的是奉献的心志。盼望我们在群体中间参与 SHEN 的事工,不是专注于他人看得见的行动,而是注重人们所看不见的内心,活出甘心乐意奉献的心志。
 

内室dao告

愿我以甘心乐意的心志参与 SHEN 的事工,得享服事 SHEN 的喜乐。
