Treasury of Scripture And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, no reference Jump to Previous Moses SpeakethJump to Next Moses SpeakethExodus 31 1. Bezaleel and Aholiah are appointed for the work of the tabernacle12. The observation of the Sabbath is again commanded 18. Moses receives the two tablets And the LORD The phrase "And the LORD" refers to Yahweh, the covenantal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). In Hebrew, this is "YHWH," often vocalized as Yahweh. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. The use of "LORD" in all caps in many English translations indicates this specific name, emphasizing God's personal relationship with Israel. Historically, the name was considered so sacred that it was not spoken aloud, and "Adonai" was used in its place during readings. This reverence underscores the holiness and majesty of God, who is both transcendent and immanent. said to Moses (12-17) The worship of the tabernacle was so closely connected with Sabbatical observance (Leviticus 19:30), that no surprise can be felt at a recurrence to the subject in the present place. It was not only that there might be a danger of zealous men breaking the Sabbatical rest in their eagerness to hasten forward the work of construction now required of them. The re-enactment of the Law might serve to check this tendency if it existed; but clearly the present passage is not specially directed to so narrow an object. It is altogether general in its aim and teaching. It re-enacts the law of the Sabbath (1) under a new sanction; and (2) with new light in its intention and value. Hitherto the Sabbath had been, in the main, a positive enactment intended to test obedience (Exodus 16:4); now it was elevated into a sacramental sign between God and His people (Exodus 31:13). Having become such a sign, it required to be guarded by a new sanction, and this was done by assigning the death-penalty to any infraction of the law of Sabbath observance (Exodus 31:14-15). Verses 12-17. - THE PENALTY FOR NOT OBSERVING THE SABBATH. Various reasons have been given for this recurrence to the sanctity of the sabbath. Kurtz connects it with the giving of the two tables, in which "the law of the sabbath held a particularly prominent place." Kalisch and others view it rather as the sequel to the directions concerning the tabernacle, and as designed to teach "that the holy service in the tabernacle could not supersede the observance of the sabbath, but derived front that observance its true value." A third set of critics regard the recurrence to the subject as purely practical - being intended to meet an immediate danger - that of the people, in their zeal to erect the tabernacle, setting sabbath observance at nought. (So Jarchi, Aben-Ezra, Clark, Rosenmuller, Canon Cook, and others.) It is to be observed, however, that the present passage is not a mere repetition. It adds to former notices (Exodus 20:8-11; Exodus 23:12) two new points: -1. That the sabbath was to be a sign between God and Israel, a "distinguishing badge," a "sacramental bond" (Cook); and 2. That its desecration was to be punished with death (ver. 15). These were supplementary points of so much importance as to furnish ample reason against their announcement being delayed.
