V.1-11 Special men and women for the special work of building the tabernacle (see Mark 13:2323But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. (Mark 13:23)). When the Lord saves you, you are prepared for the work He has for you to do, if you are willing to obey (See 2 Tim. 2:21). Notice some nice remarks. The Lord says, concerning these workers, “I have called by name, I have filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom  ...  understanding  ...  knowledge  ...  workmanship (Read 1 John 2:2020Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? (John 2:20); Eph. 1:8; 28Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; (Ephesians 1:8)
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8) Tim. 2:21).
V.12-18 The importance of the Sabbath. (Read Ex. 16:23-2623And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 24And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. 25And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the Lord: to day ye shall not find it in the field. 26Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. (Exodus 16:23‑26), for the first time it is mentioned in Scripture). It means “rest because of a finished work.” Creation tells us this (Genesis 2:33And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. (Genesis 2:3)). The consequence of disobeying (v. 14). In Christianity we do not keep the Sabbath for it has come to an end (Read Rom. 10:44For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (Romans 10:4)). Jesus was dead all day Saturday and was raised from the dead on Sunday morning, the Lord’s Day (John 20:11The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. (John 20:1)). The first day of the week is the believer’s day (Read Acts 20:77And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. (Acts 20:7) to see what the believer is to do on that day). There is a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17).
