15神把帐幕和器物的启示赐给人,选出建造者,并且把嘱咐他们的话告诉摩西以后,接着又一次说到安息日。神似乎是说,“不要忘了我的安息日,……你不该认为,因为你是在作工建造我的居所,就能天天持续的作工。不,甚至你在作我的神圣工作,就是建造帐幕的工作时,仍必须带着一个记号,指明你是我的子民,并且你需要我。因此,你必须先享受我,然后你就能不仅仅为我作工,乃是与我同工,并且与我是一而作工。我是你作工的力量,和劳苦的能力。……你必须同着我、凭着我、与我是一来作建造我居所的工作。……你是我的子民,你应当带着一个记号,说明你需要我作你的享受、力量和能力。你需要我作你的一切,使你能为我作工。借着这样作工,你就尊崇我,并荣耀我。这就是带着一个记号,指明你是我的子民。”(出埃及记生命读经,二○九四至二○九六页)
15After God gave the revelation concerning the tabernacle and the furniture, and after God selected the builders and gave Moses a charge regarding them, He went on to speak again of the Sabbath. It seems as if God were saying, “Do not forget My Sabbath…You should not think that because you are working to build My dwelling place, you can work every day continually. No, even in doing My divine work, the work of building the tabernacle, you must still bear a sign to indicate that you are My people and you need Me. Therefore, you need to enjoy Me first. Then you will be able to work not only for Me but also with Me and by being one with Me. I will be your strength to work and your energy to labor…You must do the work of building My dwelling place with Me, by Me, and in oneness with Me… You are My people, and you should bear a sign that you need Me to be your enjoyment, strength, and energy. You need Me to be your everything so that you may be able to work for Me. By working in this way, you honor Me and glorify Me. This is to bear a sign indicating that you are My people.” (Lifestudy of Exodus, pp. 1763-1764)
