8887.“守为圣日”表没有任何方式的违反。这从关于安息日的命令,如前所示(8495节),以及随后关于守安息日为圣的经文清楚可知,这些经文是:“六日你要劳碌,作你一切的工;第七日是向耶和华你神当守的安息日。你和你的儿女、仆婢、牲畜,并你城门里的寄居者,无论何工都不可作,因为六日之内,耶和华造天、地、海和其中的万物,第七日便安息,所以耶和华赐福与安息日,分别为圣”。从这些话明显可知,“守安息日为圣”表示不可以任何方式违反。不过,这个诫命的内义是这样,绝不可以任何方式违反“安息日”所表示这些事物,即主的神性本质和祂的人身本质的合一,以及祂的人身与众天堂的合一,和随之良善与真理在这些天堂里面的结合(参看8886节)。因为如果有人违反了这些事物,那么与这人同在的属灵生命就被毁灭,变成只在属世层面,后来在感官层面的生命;这时,更容易学习的是虚假,而不是真理,是邪恶,而不是良善,因为现在虚假和邪恶在他那里普遍掌权。

8887. To keep it holy. That this signifies no violation in any manner, is evident from what was commanded concerning the Sabbath, as before shown (n. 8495), and from what here follows concerning the sanctification of the Sabbath, namely, "Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; and the seventh day is the Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou shalt not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy sojourner that is within thy gates; for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested in the seventh day; wherefore Jehovah blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it." From these words it is evident that by "keeping the Sabbath holy" is signified not to violate it in any manner; but in the internal sense that those things which are signified by "the Sabbath" are not to be violated in any manner, namely, the union of the Divine essence of the Lord with His Human essence, also the union of this with the heavens, and the consequent conjunction in these of good and truth (see n. 8886); for if these things are violated, spiritual life perishes with that man, and becomes life merely natural and afterward sensuous; and then falsity is readily learned in place of truth, and evil in place of good, for falsity and evil then universally reign with him.
Elliott(1983-1999) 8887
8887. 'To keep it holy' means no violation in any way. This is clear from the things commanded regarding the sabbath, which are dealt with in 8495, and from the things that follow here about keeping the sabbath holy, which are,
Six days you shall labour and do all your work; and the seventh day is a sabbath to Jehovah your God. You shall not do any work - you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and sanctified it.
From these words it is clear that 'keeping the sabbath holy' means not violating it in any way. But the internal sense of the commandment is that the realities meant by the sabbath must not be violated in any way, those realities being the union of the Lord's Divine Essence with His Human Essence, also the union of His Human with the heavens, and the consequent joining together in them of goodness and truth, 8886. For if these realities are violated by anyone, spiritual life is ruined with that person. It becomes life on the natural level alone and after this on that of the senses, when falsity is seized on instead of truth, and evil instead of good, since these now reign universally with that person.

8887. `Ad sanctificandum illum': quod significet non violationem ullo modo, constat ex illis quae de sabbato mandata sunt, de quibus n.
