First trip for the Law:
Exodus 24:18 - in the mount for forty days and nights. Chapters 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 the Tabernacle blueprint, pieces, priest requirements, dress, etc.
Exo 31:18 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.
I may have missed it, skimming through, but the only reference to what is 'typically' known as the 10 commandments (or 10 words), or a portion thereof, is in Exodus 31:13-17, which is a reminder that the children of Israel are to keep the sabbaths. They are a perpetual covenant, a sign between God and Israel for ever. However, in Chapter 20 God gives the 10 Words to ALL the people, to which they affirm that they will DO IT.
In today's reading, Moses has to hew the stones, spends 40 more days and nights on the mount, and he (Moses in Exodus 34:28) wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments. God also goes over how the Hebrews are NOT to make a covenant with any of the current inhabitants of the Land.
God does reiterate the 6 days work, seventh day resting. He is very explicit about the 7th day and the other sabbaths. Sooooo, what does Sabbath mean?
There are seven Hebrew/Greek words translated as Sabbath.
H4868 - From H7673; cessation, that is, destruction.
H7673 - A primitive root; to repose, that is, desist from exertion; used in many implied relations (causatively, figuratively or specifically).
Used 1 time in Matthew 15:42 - And now the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
G4521 - Of Hebrew origin [H7676]; the Sabbath (that is, Shabbath), or day of weekly repose from secular avocations (also the observance or institution itself); by extension a se'nnight, that is, the interval between two Sabbaths; likewise the plural in all the above applications.
Used 68 times in 62 verses, first usage, Matthew 12:1 - At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Last usage, Colossians 2:16 - Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, of of the sabbath days:
I was going to put something in here about looking forward to an eternal rest,or Sabbath with the Lord in eternity, but as I went searching, I came across this article, which I found interesting. Still browsing and found this site, Sabbath Day, Moral Law or Ceremonial Law? which raises some interesting questions.
Obviously still wrestling through this thought process and came across a study titled, Eternal Rest, which helped me in my thought process that Jesus is our Sabbath, our rest. We enter into Him and have rest.
Mat 11:28-3 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
