The Sabbath and Kindling Fires

By Editor

Referring to Question No. 3136, a correspondent suggests that Ex. 35:3 concerning the building of a fire upon the Sabbath refers wholly to the work of the sanctuary and not to the cooking of food. Possibly this may be true. It seems to us that the text however is a general command, repeating what has been given in other places, designed to be of general application. Our correspondent thinks that it may refer to the metal-workers; those who were working in gold and silver and brass in which fires would be necessary for fusing. We pass the suggestion on.
