The number three in the Bible represents completeness. That's why Jesus rose on the third day after the Crucifixion -- his transformation was complete. It's why Elijah stretched himself on the dead child three times, why Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days, why the Lord called Samuel three times, and many more. It's also reflected in the fact that there are three levels of heaven, three levels of hell, three levels to human life and, ultimately, three aspects of the Lord Himself: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

7123. 出埃及记 5:10-13. 百姓的督工和他们的官长出来对百姓讲话, 他们说, 法老这样说, 我决不给你们稻草. 你们自己在哪里能找到稻草, 就往哪里去拾稻草吧! 但你们的工一点不可减少. 于是百姓散在埃及遍地, 拾碎秸当作稻草. 督工催着说, 一天的工, 你们要在当天完工, 与先前有稻草时一样.

“百姓的督工和他们的官长出来” 表那些最近距离地进行侵扰之人和那些最近距离地接受之人的派出和出现. “对百姓讲话, 他们说” 表觉知. “法老这样说” 表关于侵扰. “我决不给你们稻草” 表最笼统的记忆知识不再从这个源头获得. “你们自己在哪里能找到稻草, 就往哪里去拾稻草吧” 表他们要到凡所能去的别处为自己获取这些知识. “但你们的工一点不可减少” 表虚假的引入不会减少. “于是百姓散在埃及遍地” 表他们朝各个方向扩散属世心智. “拾碎秸当作稻草” 表发现某种记忆知识的真理. “督工催着” 表那些最近距离地进行侵扰之人很坚持. “说, 一天的工, 你们要在当天完工” 表他们要在各个状态下事奉所谓的虚假. “与先前有稻草时一样” 表就像他们事奉他们所谓的真理一样.
