Exodo 16:3

Studie

       

3 At sinabi sa kanila ng mga anak ni Israel, Namatay na sana kami sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng Panginoon sa lupain ng Egipto, nang kami ay nauupo sa tabi ng mga palyok ng karne, nang kami ay kumakain ng tinapay hanggang sa mabusog; sapagka't kami ay inyong dinala sa ilang na ito, upang patayin ng gutom ang buong kapisanang ito.

8517. 'Rest, each of you in his place' means a state of peace. This is clear from the meaning of 'resting' as a state of peace, dealt with above in 8494. The requirement for them to rest on the sabbath day, when they were not to do any work, not even kindle a fire or prepare for themselves what they were going to eat, was representative of the state of peace in which the joining together of goodness and truth is accomplished by the Lord; for all joining together of goodness and truth is accomplished in that state. When a person is in a state of peace he is also led by the Lord through good. If at that time the person were to be his own guide, even though he were guided by truth, he would dispel the state of peace, and as a consequence there would be no joining together, see immediately above in 8516.
