Exodus 31
Concise Complete
Bezaleel and Aholiab are appointed and qualified for the
work of the tabernacle. (1-11) The observance of the sabbath. (12-17) Moses
receives the tables of the law. (18)
Verses 1-11 The
Israelites, who had been masons and bricklayers in Egypt, were not qualified for
curious workmanship; but the Spirit who gave the apostles utterance in divers
tongues, miraculously gave Bezaleel and Aholiab the skill that was wanting. The
honour which comes from God, is always attended with a work to be done; to be
employed for God is high honour. Those whom God calls to any service, he will
find or make fit for it. The Lord gives different gifts to different persons;
let each mind his proper work, diligently remembering that whatever wisdom any
one possesses, the Lord put it in the heart, to do his commandments.
Verses 12-17
Orders were now given that a tabernacle should be set up for the service of God.
But they must not think that the nature of the work, and the haste that was
required, would justify them in working at it on sabbath days. The Hebrew word
/shabath/ signifies rest, or ceasing from labour. The thing signified by the
sabbath is that rest in glory which remains for the people of God; therefore the
moral obligation of the sabbath must continue, till time is swallowed up in
eternity.
Verse 18 The law
was written in tables of stone, to show how lasting it is: to denote likewise
the hardness of our hearts; one might more easily write on stone, than write any
thing good on our corrupt natural hearts. It was written with the finger of God;
by his will and power. God only can write his law in the heart: he gives a heart
of flesh; then, by his Spirit, which is the
2 corinthians.
