Appointment of Bezaleel and Aholiab. . 1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. 6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee; 7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, 8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, 9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, 10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office, 11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. A great deal of fine work God had ordered to be done about the tabernacle; the materials the people were to provide, but who must put them into form? Moses himself was learned in all the learning of the Egyptians, nay, he was well acquainted with the words of God, and the visions of the Almighty; but he knew not how to engrave or embroider. We may suppose that there were some very ingenious men among the Israelites; but, having lived all their days in bondage in Egypt, we cannot think they were any of them instructed in these curious arts. They knew how to make brick and work in clay, but to work in gold and in cutting diamonds was what they had never been brought up to. How should the work be done with the neatness and exactness that were required when they had no goldsmiths or jewellers but what must be made out of masons and bricklayers? We may suppose that there were a sufficient number who would gladly be employed, and would do their best; but it would be hard to find out a proper person to preside in this work. Who was sufficient for these things? But God takes care of this matter also. I. He nominates the persons that were to be employed, that there might be no contest about the preferment, nor envy at those that were preferred, God himself having made the choice. 1. Bezaleel was to be the architect, or master workman, Exodus 31:2 ; Exodus 31:2 . He was of the tribe of Judah, a tribe that God delighted to honour; the grandson of Hur, probably that Hur who had helped to hold up Moses's hands ( Exodus 17:1-16 ; Exodus 17:1-16 ), and was at this time in commission with Aaron for the government of the people in the absence of Moses ( Exodus 24:14 ; Exodus 24:14 ); out of that family which was of note in Israel was the workman chosen, and it added no little honour to the family that a branch of it was employed, though but as a mechanic, or handicraft tradesman, for the service of the tabernacle. The Jews' tradition is that Hur was the husband of Miriam; and, if so, it was requisite that God should appoint him to this service, lest, if Moses himself had done it, he should be thought partial to his own kindred, his brother Aaron also being advanced to the priesthood. God will put honour upon Moses's relations, and yet will make it to appear that he takes not the honour to himself or his own family, but that it is purely the Lord's doing. 2. Aholiab, of the tribe of Dan, is appointed next to Bezaleel, and partner with him, Exodus 31:6 ; Exodus 31:6 . Two are better than one. Christ sent forth his disciples who were to rear the gospel tabernacle, two and two, and we read of his two witnesses. Aholiab was of the tribe of Dan, which was one of the less honourable tribes, that the tribes of Judah and Levi might not be lifted up, as if they were to engross all the preferments; to prevent a schism in the body, God gives honour to that part which lacked, 1 Corinthians 12:24 . The head cannot say to the foot, I have no need of thee. Hiram, who was the head workman in the building of Solomon's temple, was also of the tribe of Dan, 2 Chronicles 2:14 . 3. There were others that were employed by and under these in the several operations about the tabernacle, Exodus 31:6 ; Exodus 31:6 . Note, When God has work to do he will never want instruments to do it with, for all hearts and heads too are under his eye, and in his hand; and those may cheerfully go about any service for God, and go on in it, who have reason to think that, one way or other, he has called them to it; for whom he calls he will own and bear out. II. He qualifies these persons for the service ( Exodus 31:3 ; Exodus 31:3 ): I have filled him with the Spirit of God; and ( Exodus 31:6 ; Exodus 31:6 ) in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom. Note, 1. Skill in common arts and employments is the gift of God; from him are derived both the faculty and the improvement of the faculty. It is he that puts even this wisdom into the inward parts, Job 38:36 . He teaches the husbandman discretion ( Isaiah 28:26 ), and the tradesman too; and he must have the praise of it. 2. God dispenses his gifts variously, one gift to one, another to another, and all for the good of the whole body, both of mankind and of the church. Moses was fittest of all to govern Israel, but Bezaleel was fitter than he to build the tabernacle. The common benefit is very much supported by the variety of men's faculties and inclinations; the genius of some leads them to be serviceable one way, of others another way, and all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12:11 . This forbids pride, envy, contempt, and carnal emulation, and strengthens the bond of mutual love. 3. Those whom God calls to any service he will either find, or make, fit for it. If God give the commission, he will in some measure give the qualifications, according as the service is. The work, that was to be done here was to make the tabernacle and the utensils of it, which are here particularly reckoned up, Exodus 31:7 ; Exodus 31:7 , c. And for this the persons employed were enabled to work in gold, and silver, and brass. When Christ sent his apostles to rear the gospel tabernacle, he poured out his Spirit upon them, to enable them to speak with tongues the wonderful works of God not to work upon metal, but to work upon men; so much more excellent were the gifts, as the tabernacle to be pitched was a greater and more perfect tabernacle, as the apostle calls it, Hebrews 9:11 . return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-12-18" class="com-number"

하나님께서는 성막에 관한 세밀한 작업들을 많이 명하셨다. 재료는 백성이 마련해야 했지만, 누가 그것을 형태로 빚어낼 것인가? 모세 자신은 이집트의 모든 학문에 능통했고 하나님의 말씀과 전능자의 이상을 잘 알았으나, 조각하거나 자수 놓는 법은 알지 못했다. 이스라엘 사람들 가운데 솜씨 있는 이들이 있었을 것이나, 이집트에서 평생 종살이를 하며 지낸 그들이 이 정교한 기예를 익혔다고는 볼 수 없다. 그들은 벽돌을 만들고 진흙을 다루는 법은 알았지만, 금을 다루고 보석을 조각하는 일은 배워 본 적이 없었다. 석공과 벽돌공 출신으로 어떻게 요구되는 정교함과 정밀함을 갖춘 작업을 해낼 수 있겠는가? 기꺼이 일하고자 하는 이들은 충분했겠지만, 이 일을 주관할 적임자를 찾기란 어려운 일이었다. 그러나 하나님께서는 이 문제도 직접 해결하신다.

**I. 하나님께서 일꾼들을 직접 지명하신다.** 이는 직분을 두고 다툼이 없게 하고, 뽑힌 이들을 향한 시기가 없게 하기 위함이었으니, 선택 자체가 하나님으로부터 나온 것이기 때문이다.

1. **브살렐**이 수석 장인, 곧 주요 일꾼으로 임명된다(출 31:2). 그는 유다 지파 사람으로, 하나님께서 기쁘게 높이시는 지파 출신이었다. 후르의 손자인데, 이 후르는 모세의 손을 붙들어 올린 바로 그 사람이었을 것이며(출 17장), 모세가 자리를 비운 동안 아론과 함께 백성을 다스리는 직분을 맡고 있었다(출 24:14). 이스라엘에서 이름 있는 그 가문에서 일꾼이 선택되었다는 것은, 비록 장인이나 수공업자로 섬기는 일이었지만, 그 가문에 적지 않은 영예를 더했다. 유대인의 전승에 따르면 후르는 미리암의 남편이었다고 한다. 만약 그렇다면, 하나님께서 직접 그를 임명하신 것은 모세가 스스로 했을 경우 자기 친족을 편애한다는 오해를 받지 않게 하기 위함이었다. 그의 형 아론도 이미 제사장 직분에 오른 상황이었으니 더욱 그러했다. 하나님께서는 모세의 친족에게 영예를 주시되, 그 영예가 모세 자신이나 그 가문에서 온 것이 아니라 오직 여호와께로부터 온 것임을 분명히 하신다.

2. **아홀리압**, 단 지파 사람이 브살렐 다음으로 그의 동역자로 임명된다(출 31:6). 둘이 하나보다 낫다. 그리스도께서도 복음의 성막을 세우러 제자들을 보내실 때 둘씩 보내셨고, 그분의 두 증인에 대한 기록도 있다. 아홀리압이 단 지파 출신이라는 것은, 덜 존귀한 지파 출신임을 뜻한다. 이는 유다 지파와 레위 지파가 모든 직분을 독점하지 못하게 하려는 것이었다. 몸 가운데 더 약한 부분에 더 큰 귀중함을 주어 분열이 없게 하시는 것이다(고전 12:24). 머리가 발에게 "나는 네가 필요 없다"고 말할 수 없다. 솔로몬 성전 건축의 수석 장인 히람도 단 지파 출신이었다(대하 2:14).

3. 성막에 관한 여러 작업에서 이들 아래 함께 일한 **다른 일꾼들**이 있었다(출 31:6). 하나님께서 하실 일이 있으면, 그 일을 할 도구가 결코 부족하지 않으신다. 모든 마음과 머리가 그분의 눈 아래, 그분의 손 안에 있기 때문이다. 어떤 방식으로든 하나님께서 부르셨다고 믿을 근거가 있는 이는, 담대히 어떤 섬김이라도 나아가 행하며 계속할 수 있다. 부르시는 이가 인정하시고 세우실 것이기 때문이다.

**II. 하나님께서 이 사람들을 그 직분에 적합하도록 갖추어 주신다(출 31:3).** "내가 그를 하나님의 영으로 충만하게 하여 지혜와 총명과 지식과 모든 재주를 주었다"고 하셨고(출 31:6), "무릇 지혜로운 마음이 있는 자에게는 내가 지혜를 주었다"고 하셨다.

주목할 점이 세 가지 있다.

첫째, 일반적인 기예와 직업에서의 솜씨는 하나님의 선물이다. 능력과 그 능력의 발전 모두 그분께로부터 온다. 이 지혜를 마음 속에 두시는 분도 바로 그분이시다(욥 38:36). 그분은 농부에게 분별력을 가르치시고(사 28:26) 장인에게도 마찬가지이시니, 그 찬양은 그분께 돌려야 한다.

둘째, 하나님께서는 각 사람에게 서로 다른 은사를 나누어 주신다. 한 사람에게는 이 은사를, 다른 사람에게는 저 은사를 주시며, 이는 인류 전체와 교회 전체의 유익을 위한 것이다. 모세는 이스라엘을 다스리기에 가장 적합했지만, 성막을 짓기에는 브살렐이 더 적합했다. 사람들이 각자 다른 능력과 성향을 가짐으로써 공동의 유익이 크게 지지된다. 어떤 이의 재능은 한 방향에서 유용하고, 다른 이의 재능은 다른 방향에서 유용하다. 이 모든 것을 행하시는 이는 동일한 한 성령이시다(고전 12:11). 이는 교만과 시기와 경멸과 세상적 경쟁심을 막고, 서로 사랑하는 유대를 강하게 한다.

셋째, 하나님께서 어떤 직분으로 부르시면, 그분은 그 직분에 합당한 자격을 베푸신다. 직분에 따라 그에 걸맞은 자격을 주신다. 이 일은 성막과 그 기구들을 만드는 것이었고(출 31:7 이하), 이를 위해 임명된 이들은 금과 은과 놋을 다루는 능력을 받았다. 그리스도께서 사도들을 파송하여 복음의 성막을 세우게 하셨을 때, 그분은 성령을 그들 위에 부어 하나님의 놀라운 일을 여러 언어로 말할 수 있게 하셨다. 금속을 다루는 것이 아니라 사람을 다루는 일이었다. 사도가 말한 것처럼, 그것이 더 크고 완전한 성막이었기에(히 9:11) 은사들도 그만큼 더 탁월했다.

하나님께서는 산에서 모세와 나누시는 말씀을 마무리하고 계셨다. 모세는 사십 주야를 산에서 하나님과 함께 지냈는데, 그 긴 시간 동안 기록된 말씀은 앞의 여섯 장에 담긴 것이 전부다. 이 장에서 하나님께서는 세 가지를 말씀하신다. 첫째, 성막을 건축하고 그 기구들을 만들 일꾼을 지명하신다(출 31:1-11). 둘째, 안식일 법과 그 거룩한 준수를 다시 명하신다(출 31:12-17). 셋째, 모세가 내려갈 때 두 증거판을 그에게 건네주신다(출 31:18).

The Observance of the Sabbath. . 12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD : whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Here is, I. A strict command for the sanctification of the sabbath day, Exodus 31:13-17 ; Exodus 31:13-17 . The law of the sabbath had been given them before any other law, by was of preparation ( Exodus 16:23 ; Exodus 16:23 ); it had been inserted in the body of the moral law, in the fourth commandment; it had been annexed to the judicial law ( Exodus 23:12 ; Exodus 23:12 ); and here it is added to the first part of the ceremonial law, because the observance of the sabbath is indeed the hem and hedge of the whole law; where no conscience is made of that, farewell both godliness and honesty; for, in the moral law, it stands in the midst between the two tables. Some suggest that it comes in here upon another account. Orders were now given that a tabernacle should be set up and furnished for the service of God with all possible expedition; but lest they should think that the nature of the work, and the haste that was required, would justify them in working at it on sabbath days, that they might get it done the sooner, this caution is seasonably inserted, Verily, or nevertheless, my sabbaths you shall keep. Though they must hasten the work, yet they must not make more haste than good speed; they must not break the law of the sabbath in their haste: even tabernacle-work must give way to the sabbath-rest; so jealous is God for the honour of his sabbaths. Observe what is here said concerning the sabbath day. 1. The nature, meaning, and intention, of the sabbath, by the declaration of which God puts an honour upon it, and teaches us to value it. Divers things are here said of the sabbath. (1.) It is a sign between me and you ( Exodus 31:13 ; Exodus 31:13 ), and again, Exodus 31:17 ; Exodus 31:17 . The institution of the sabbath was a great instance of God's favour to them, and a sign that he had distinguished them from all other people; and their religious observance of the sabbath was a great instance of their duty and obedience to him. God, by sanctifying this day among them, let them know that he sanctified them, and set them apart for himself and his service; otherwise he would not have revealed to them his holy sabbaths, to be the support of religion among them. Or it may refer to the law concerning the sabbath, Keep my sabbaths, that you may know that I the Lord do sanctify you. Note, If God by his grace incline our hearts to keep the law of the fourth commandment, it will be an evidence of a good work wrought in us by his Spirit. If we sanctify God's day, it is a sign between him and us that he has sanctified our hearts: hence it is the character of the blessed man that he keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, Isaiah 56:2 . The Jews, by observing one day in seven, after six days' labour, testified and declared that they worshipped the God who made the world in six days, and rested the seventh; and so distinguished themselves from other nations, who, having first lost the sabbath, which was instituted to be a memorial of the creation, by degrees lost the knowledge of the Creator, and gave that honour to the creature which was due to him alone. (2.) It is holy unto you ( Exodus 31:14 ; Exodus 31:14 ), that is, "It is designed for your benefit as well as for God's honour;" the sabbath was made for man. Or, "It shall be accounted holy by you, and shall so be observed, and you shall look upon it a sacrilege to profane it." (3.) It is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord, Exodus 31:15 ; Exodus 31:15 . It is separated from common use, and designed for the honour and service of God, and by the observance of it we are taught to rest from worldly pursuits and the service of the flesh, and to devote ourselves, and all we are, have, and can do, to God's glory. (4.) It was to be observed throughout their generations, in every age, for a perpetual covenant. Exodus 31:16 ; Exodus 31:16 . This was to be one of the most lasting tokens of that covenant which was between God and Israel. 2. The law of the sabbath. They must keep it ( Exodus 31:13 ; Exodus 31:14 ; Exodus 31:16 ), keep it as a treasure, as a trust, observe it and preserve it, keep it from polluting it, keep it up as a sign between God and them, keep it and never part with it. The Gentiles had anniversary-feasts, to the honour of their gods; but it was peculiar to the Jews to have a weekly festival; this therefore they must carefully observe. 3. The reason of the sabbath; for God's laws are not only backed with the highest authority, but supported with the best reason. God's own example is the great reason, Exodus 31:17 ; Exodus 31:17 . As the work of creation is worthy to be thus commemorated, so the great Creator is worthy to be thus imitated, by a holy rest, the seventh day, after six days' labour, especially since we hope, in further conformity to the same example, shortly to rest with him from all our labours. 4. The penalty to be inflicted for the breach of this law: "Every one that defileth the sabbath, by doing any work therein but works of piety and mercy, shall be cut off from among his people ( Exodus 31:14 ; Exodus 31:14 ); he shall surely be put to death. Exodus 31:15 ; Exodus 31:15 . The magistrate must cut him off the sword of justice if the crime can be proved; if it cannot, or if the magistrate be remiss, and do not do his duty, God will take the work into his own hands, and cut him off by a stroke from heaven, and his family shall be rooted out of Israel." Note, The contempt and profanation of the sabbath day is an iniquity to be punished by the judges; and, if men do not punish it, God will, here or hereafter, unless it be repented of. II. The delivering of the two tables of testimony to Moses. God had promised him these tables when he called him up into the mount ( Exodus 24:12 ; Exodus 24:12 ), and now, when he was sending him down, he delivered them to him, to be carefully and honourably deposited in the ark, Exodus 31:18 ; Exodus 31:18 . 1. The ten commandments which God had spoken upon mount Sinai in the hearing of all the people were now written, in perpetuam rei memoriam--for a perpetual memorial, because that which is written remains. 2. They were written in tables of stone, prepared, not by Moses, as it should seem (for it is intimated, Exodus 24:12 ; Exodus 24:12 , that he found them ready written when he went up to the mount), but, as some think, by the ministry of angels. The law was written in tables of stone, to denote the perpetual duration of it (what can be supposed to last longer than that which is written in stone, and laid up?), to denote likewise the hardness of our hearts; one might more easily write in stone than write any thing that is good in our corrupt and sinful hearts. 3. They were written with the finger of God, that is, by his will and power immediately, without the use of any instrument. It is God only that can write his law in the heart; he gives a heart of flesh, and then, by his Spirit, which is the finger of God, he writes his will in the fleshly tables of the heart, 2 Corinthians 3:3 . 4. They were written in two tables, being designed to direct us in our duty both towards God and towards man. 5. They are called tables of testimony, because this written law testified both the will of God concerning them and his good-will towards them, and would be a testimony against them if they were disobedient. 6. They were delivered to Moses, probably with a charge, before he laid them up in the ark, to show them publicly, that they might be seen and read of all men, and so what they had heard with the hearing of the ear might now be brought to their remembrance. Thus the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. return to ' Top of Page ' Exodus Exo 30 Exodus Exo Exodus Exo 32 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

**I. 안식일을 거룩하게 지키라는 엄한 명령(출 31:13-17).** 안식일의 법은 다른 어떤 율법보다 먼저, 준비로서 주어졌고(출 16:23), 도덕법 본체 곧 제4계명에 삽입되었으며, 사법적 율법에도 덧붙여졌고(출 23:12), 이제 예식법의 첫 부분에도 더해졌다. 안식일의 준수는 실로 율법 전체의 가장자리요 울타리이기 때문이다. 안식일을 지키지 않는 곳에서는 경건함도 정직함도 사라진다. 도덕법 안에서 안식일은 두 돌판 사이, 즉 중간에 위치한다.

어떤 이들은 안식일이 여기서 반복되는 것이 또 다른 이유에서라고 제안한다. 성막을 가능한 한 빨리 세우고 기구들을 갖추라는 명령이 방금 주어졌는데, 그 작업의 성격과 긴박성 때문에 더 빨리 완성하려고 안식일에도 일해도 된다고 생각할 수 있었기 때문이다. 이에 "그러나 나의 안식일을 지키라"는 경고가 시의적절하게 삽입된다. 서둘러야 하지만, 지나치게 서두르면 안 된다. 안식일 법을 어기며 서두르면 안 된다. 성막 공사도 안식일의 안식에 자리를 내주어야 한다. 하나님께서는 그분의 안식일의 영예에 그토록 열심이시다.

안식일에 대해 여기서 말씀하시는 것들을 살펴보자.

**1. 안식일의 성격, 의미, 목적.** 이를 선포하심으로 하나님께서는 안식일에 영예를 두시고 우리가 그것을 소중히 여기도록 가르치신다. 안식일에 대해 여러 가지를 말씀하신다.

(1) 안식일은 **나와 너희 사이의 표징**이다(출 31:13, 17). 안식일 제도는 하나님께서 그들에게 베푸신 큰 은총이었으며, 그분이 그들을 다른 모든 민족과 구별하셨다는 표징이었다. 또한 그들이 하나님께 드리는 의무와 순종의 큰 표징이었다. 하나님께서 이 날을 그들 가운데 거룩하게 하심으로, 그분이 그들을 거룩하게 하시고 그분 자신과 그분의 섬김을 위해 따로 세우셨음을 알게 하신다. 그렇지 않으면 그분은 그들에게 거룩한 안식일을 계시하시지 않았을 것이다. 혹은 이 말씀이 안식일 법에 관한 것일 수도 있다. "내 안식일을 지키라. 그러면 나 여호와가 너희를 거룩하게 하는 줄을 알리라." 하나님의 은혜로 우리 마음이 제4계명을 지키도록 기울어진다면, 그것은 성령께서 우리 안에서 선한 일을 행하셨다는 증거가 된다. 우리가 하나님의 날을 거룩하게 지킨다면, 이는 그분이 우리 마음을 거룩하게 하셨다는 표징이다. 이것이 안식일을 더럽히지 않는 복 있는 사람의 특징이다(사 56:2). 이스라엘 사람들은 엿새 동안 일한 후 일곱째 날 하루를 지킴으로써, 엿새 만에 세상을 창조하시고 일곱째 날에 쉬신 하나님을 경배한다고 고백하며 선포했다. 이로써 그들은 안식일을 먼저 잃어버리고 결국 창조주를 알지 못하게 된 다른 민족들과 스스로를 구별했다.

(2) 안식일은 **너희에게 거룩하다**(출 31:14). 이것은 "하나님의 영예를 위할 뿐 아니라 너희의 유익을 위해 정하신 것이다. 안식일은 사람을 위해 만들어졌다"는 뜻이다. 혹은 "너희가 거룩하게 여기고 그렇게 지켜야 하며, 그것을 더럽히는 것을 신성모독으로 간주해야 한다"는 뜻이다.

(3) 안식일은 **여호와께 거룩한 안식일**이다(출 31:15). 일상적 용도에서 구별되어 하나님의 영예와 섬김을 위해 정해졌으며, 이를 지킴으로 우리는 세상적 추구와 육신의 섬김에서 쉬고, 우리 자신과 우리의 모든 것을 하나님의 영광에 드리는 법을 배운다.

(4) 안식일은 **대대로, 영원한 언약**으로 지켜야 한다(출 31:16). 이것은 하나님과 이스라엘 사이의 언약의 가장 지속적인 표로서 유지되어야 했다.

**2. 안식일의 법.** 그들은 안식일을 지켜야 한다(출 31:13, 14, 16). 보물처럼, 위탁물처럼 지켜야 하며, 더럽히지 않도록 지키고, 하나님과 그들 사이의 표징으로 세워야 하며, 결코 버리지 말아야 한다. 이방 민족들에게는 신들을 기리는 연례 축제가 있었지만, 유대인들만이 매주 절기를 가지는 것은 그들만의 특별한 특징이었다. 따라서 그들은 이를 신중하게 지켜야 했다.

**3. 안식일의 이유.** 하나님의 율법은 최고의 권위로 뒷받침될 뿐만 아니라 가장 좋은 이유로도 지지된다. 하나님 자신의 본보기가 안식일의 가장 큰 이유이다(출 31:17). 창조의 역사가 이처럼 기념할 만한 것처럼, 위대한 창조주도 엿새 동안 일한 후 일곱째 날 거룩한 안식을 통해 본받을 만하시다. 더욱이 우리는 같은 본보기를 따라, 머지않아 모든 수고에서 그분과 함께 쉬기를 소망한다.

**4. 이 법을 어기는 자에게 내려지는 형벌.** "안식일을 더럽히는 자는, 경건과 자비의 일 외에 어떤 일이라도 하면, 그 백성 중에서 끊어지리라(출 31:14). 그는 반드시 죽임을 당하리라(출 31:15). 증거로 죄가 입증되면 사법 당국이 그를 칼로 제거해야 한다. 만약 그렇지 못하거나 당국이 직분을 다하지 않는다면, 하나님께서 친히 하늘로부터 그를 끊으시고 그의 가족을 이스라엘에서 뿌리 뽑으실 것이다." 안식일의 경멸과 더럽힘은 재판관들이 처벌해야 할 불법이다. 사람이 처벌하지 않으면, 하나님께서 이 세상이든 저 세상이든 회개하지 않는 한 직접 처벌하실 것이다.

**II. 두 증거판을 모세에게 건네주심(출 31:18).** 하나님께서는 모세를 산으로 부르실 때 이 돌판들을 약속하셨고(출 24:12), 이제 그를 내려보내시면서 건네주신다. 이 돌판들은 언약궤 안에 소중히, 영예롭게 보관되어야 했다.

주목할 점이 여섯 가지 있다.

첫째, 하나님께서 시나이 산에서 온 백성이 듣는 가운데 말씀하신 열 계명이 이제 문자로 기록되었다. 기록된 것은 남기 때문이다.

둘째, 그것들은 **돌판**에 기록되었다. 모세가 아니라(산에 올라갔을 때 이미 기록되어 있었음이 암시된다 — 출 24:12) 어떤 이들은 천사들의 사역으로 만들어졌다고 생각한다. 율법이 돌판에 기록된 것은 그 영속적인 지속성을 나타내며(돌에 기록된 것보다 더 오래간다고 여길 수 있는 것이 무엇이겠는가?), 동시에 우리 마음의 굳음을 나타내기도 한다. 돌에 글씨를 새기기보다 우리의 부패하고 죄 많은 마음에 선한 것을 기록하기가 더 어렵다.

셋째, 그것들은 **하나님의 손가락으로** 기록되었다. 즉, 어떤 도구의 사용 없이 그분의 의지와 능력으로 직접 기록되었다. 율법을 마음에 기록할 수 있는 분은 오직 하나님뿐이시다. 그분은 육체의 마음을 주시고, 하나님의 손가락인 성령으로 그 마음의 육체 판에 그분의 뜻을 기록하신다(고후 3:3).

넷째, 그것들은 **두 판**에 기록되었다. 이는 우리가 하나님을 향한 의무와 사람을 향한 의무 모두에서 인도받도록 설계되었기 때문이다.

다섯째, 그것들은 **증거판**이라 불린다. 이 기록된 율법이 그들에 대한 하나님의 뜻과 그들을 향한 그분의 선하신 의지를 증언하기 때문이며, 그들이 불순종하면 그들을 고발하는 증거가 될 것이기 때문이다.

여섯째, 그것들은 **모세에게 전달되었다**. 아마도 궤에 보관하기 전에 공개적으로 보여주어 모든 사람이 보고 읽을 수 있도록, 귀로 들었던 것을 이제 마음에 새길 수 있도록 하는 임무와 함께였을 것이다. 이처럼 율법은 모세로 말미암아 주어졌지만, 은혜와 진리는 예수 그리스도로 말미암아 온다.
