What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "About Exodus 35:1"
Answer
The provided quotations contain direct references to Exodus 35. In this chapter Moses gathers the congregation of Israel and announces to them the Lord’s commandments, beginning with the observance of the Sabbath. J.N. Andrews quotes extensively from this passage, while Ellen G. White explains the historical context – especially that despite the urgent work on the sanctuary, the Sabbath was not to be violated.
Moses gathers the congregation
»
"And Moses gathered the whole congregation of the children of Israel and spoke to them: These are the words which the Lord has commanded, that you shall do them. Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord: whoever does work in it shall be put to death. You shall not kindle fire in your dwellings on the Sabbath day.«
Protection of the Sabbath despite sanctuary construction
»
"While he was on the mountain, Moses received instructions for the building of a sanctuary in which the divine presence was to be especially revealed. [...] For the third time the observance of the Sabbath was reinforced. [...] Instructions had been given specifically for the immediate construction of the tabernacle for God’s service; and now people might conclude, because the purpose was the glory of God and also because of their great need for a place of worship, that they were justified in working on the Sabbath on the building. To guard them against this error, the warning was given. Even the holiness and urgency of that special work for God must not lead them to violate His holy day of rest.«
