上帝在西奈山向摩西传十诫,第四诫是星期日必须休息,守为圣日。他甚至下令,凡星期日工作者格杀勿论。未免太残忍了。不过,我们不妨把这看作寓言,其寓意是:闲暇和休息也是神圣的。在《旧约·创世记》中,我们确实发现有这一层意思。其中说:上帝在六日内创造了世界万物,便在第七日休息了。“他赐福给第七日,圣化那一日为特别的日子;因为他已经完成了创造,在那一日歇工休息。”可以想像,忙碌了六个工作日的上帝,在第七日的休憩中一定贪图到了另一种不寻常的快乐。所以,他责令他的子民仿效他的榜样,不但要勤于工作,而且要善于享受闲暇。时至今日,《创世记》中上帝的日程表已经扩展成了全世
God sent the Ten Commandments to Moses at Mount Sinai, and the fourth commandment must rest on Sunday and be a holy day. He even ordered the killing of Sunday workers. It’s too cruel. However, we may regard this as a parable. Its implication is that leisure and rest are also sacred. In the Old Testament Genesis, we did find this meaning. It said: God created all things in the world within six days and he rested on the seventh day. “He blessed the seventh day, and the day of sanctification was a special day; for he had completed the creation, and rested and rested on that day.” It can be imagined that God who was busy six working days was in the seventh The rest of the day must have coveted another unusual happiness. Therefore, he ordered his people to follow his example, not only to work hard but also to enjoy leisure. Today, the calendar of God in Genesis has expanded into a whole world.
