耶和華的事，不謀利沒有版權

23. You shall also make a table of acacia wood, its length two cubits, and its breadth a cubit, and its height a cubit and a half.

24. And you shall overlay it with pure gold, and make for this a crown molding of gold all around the top of it.

25. And you shall make unto it a border of a hand’s breadth all around. And you shall make a golden crown molding all around the border of it.

26. And you shall make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet of it.

27. The rings shall be adjoining the border as housings for the staves to carry the table.

28. And you shall make the staves of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table may be carried.

29. And you shall make its plates, and its spoons, and its pitchers, and its sacrificial cups with which a drink-offering is made. You shall make them of pure gold.

30. And upon the table you shall set showbread before Me always.

31. And you shall make a lampstand of pure gold. The lampstand shall be made of beaten work; its shaft, and its branches, its cups, its knobs, and its blossoms, shall be from it.

32. And six branches shall come out of the sides of it—three branches of the lampstand out of the one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side.

33. Three almond-like cups on the one branch, with knob and blossom; and three almond-like cups on the one branch, with knob and blossom, so for the six branches, those going out of the lampstand.

34. And in the lampstand shall be four almond-like cups, with their knobs and their blossoms;

35. And a knob under two branches of it, and a knob under two branches of it, and a knob under two branches of it, according to the six branches, those going out of the lampstand.

36. Their knobs and their branches shall be of it, all of it one beaten work of pure gold.

37. And you shall make the seven lamps of it. And one shall light the lamps of it, so that they may give light in the space in front of it.

38. And the tongs of it, and its pans shall be of pure gold.

39. One shall make it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.

40. And see that you make them after their pattern, which was shown you in the mountain.”

摩西要求作約櫃，本意是保存好，無可厚非。

約櫃以外的就顯得不是須要，而是炫耀。一般情況人以神為榮，到今日，依舊在信仰的群體當中，也用不同的方式去表達，例如為神多結果子，結果子是內在不是外在。摩西將埃及拜神的方式，應用在曠野，似乎在方式上，在場合上都不適用。就有點以己代神發言的味道，他自己不覺，卻留下不良的影響，四十年才能進迦南。

更為深遠的影響，可以看今日這對現象的解釋：AI

Jewish interpretation, particularly within traditional sources like the  Talmud  and  Midrash, views  Exodus 25:39-40  as mandating that the  Menorah  and all Tabernacle vessels be crafted according to a precise  divine pattern  revealed to  Moses  on  Mount Sinai. 

• Exact Replication: The phrase “according to the pattern” (ke-tavnito) is interpreted literally, requiring the physical construction to mirror the heavenly blueprint shown to Moses, ensuring the earthly sanctuary serves as an exact replica of the celestial reality. 
• Symbolic Meaning: The  Menorah’s construction from a  talent of pure gold  is seen as a symbol of  divine light  and  truth, with the seven lamps representing the covenant between  Yahweh  and Israel, reflecting God’s role as the source of spiritual illumination. 
• Theological Significance: This emphasis on precision underscores that worship must adhere strictly to  God’s instructions  rather than human innovation, establishing the Tabernacle as the locus of  divine presence  (Shekinah) among the people. 

AI 解釋是根據現存的資料縱合而來。它是依據許多的釋經書、評論以及字典的詮釋而來。這些資料，都有同一個特點：忽略了一句很重要不作翻譯和分析，就是 v.39 ：當時支付打造金燈臺和一應用具的開支，每人要付出一他連得的純金。是無意或有心，自行決定。

在曠野用這些設備，對某些以崇拜為重點的信仰，是聽神的話比任何重要，即使是曠野，燭臺在曠野就特別顯眼，要用金包裝？

這處理有二個層面可以理解：放在內心，或是放在外表顯示。人，有神的形象，是指外表？還是指內心深藏的信心？事實二樣都須要，卻不必超過自己的能力。在曠野中用金包裝，看來是過了。

當時的人跟現代的人，有創造力，人稱為野心或雄心，這種能力是包含在神的形象，是因為創造者就有。為此，人，他不論是什麼言語、什麼國籍、什麼膚色都會有具創造力的人出現，他們改造社會，心思多了過了就會自封為神。人到了一定的高度，像摩西，有代言的資格的時候，不是他要做神，而是許多人當他是神也就成了另一道風景。

摩西很清楚他沒有。

只因他知道自己沒有，一心的專注耶和華，卻不了解，以埃及神址供奉的方式代替(是知識的潛移默化)。作為個人，當可以作為是自己的事。作為領袖就不一樣，要考慮為跟隨的人設想。這就是為什麼耶穌的跟隨者有三千有五千的時候，卻獨自上去避靜禱告的原因，在群眾中拾回自己，只因祂曾受過事奉前的試驗，不是讀出來。

當日的摩西不明，出埃及他自己是其中一份子。今日的領袖似乎明白此理的，很少也許是很多。有許多領自己出埃及的，像今日香港出版界有黎智英、學界有黃之鋒、宗教界有陳日君，台灣有黃國倫，在世界政壇有川普。在時光中有許多不認識的無名跟隨者。在將來，你也許就是其中一位。
