| [[File:eve.jpg|center|300px|thumb|In [[Egypt]] under the [[Pharaoh]] 20% of your labor belonged to the [[government]] of [[Pharaoh]] as if you were [[employ]]ed and they called it the [[Bondage of Egypt]]. All over the world today people pay much more of their labor to the government and call it freedom.<Br>But because the people desired [[benefits]] from men who call themselves [[Benefactors]] we have returned to [[bondage]]. We were told to 'never return to the bondage of [[Egypt]] but people did under [[Herod]] and [[Rome]], and in the United States under [[FDR]]. It was also called a [[corvee]] system of statutory labor or the [[bondage]] of [[Egypt]]. Jesus told us  to [[repent|think a different]] way and to [[seek]] the [[Kingdom of God]] and His [[righteousness]]. Are we in need of learning the lessons of [[Exodus]]?]]

|-
| At this point "all the congregation(עֵדָה‎)<Ref name="edah">{{05712}}</Ref>" are gathered in the [[tens]], hundreds and thousands to form the government of God to provide the three essential services of a free government under God. They had a voluntary self regulated military, [[Judgement|court system]] and [[social welfare]] system supported by [[freewill offerings]].
|-
| If you do not earn the rest by working first for "Six days you are not keeping the [[sabbath]]. But if you do work should you be '''[[put to death]]'''? What does the word ''work'' even mean? There are numerous words translated ''work''. Here we see <Ref name="mëlakah">{{04399}}</Ref> which is translated work 129 times but also business 12 times but defined ''occupation, work, business''. It can also mean "public business, political, religious". The "[[public religion]]" of Moses was through "[[freewill offerings]]" actually delivered and not pledges. Other [[city-state]]s like [[Sumer]] and eventually the [[Corban]] of the [[pharisees]] relied upon the [[force]] of governments who [[exercise authority]] and [[legal charity]] often coupled with [[oaths]], pledges, [[surety]], and [[debt]] which makes men [[merchandise]].<Ref>1 Corinthians 16:1 ¶  Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2  Upon the first [day] of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as [God] hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.</Ref>
|-
|V3 To "'''kindle a fire'''" is the Hebrew term translated ''kindle'' is בָּעַר‎ ba‘ar<Ref name="baar">{{01197}}</Ref> and often translated burn. It is translated ''kindle'' 13 times but 7 times it is translated ''brutish''. It is even defined as "to be stupid, brutish, barbarous". <Br>The same letters BeitAyinReish בַּעַר‎ ba‘ar when given another Strong's number as a noun<Ref name="baar8">{{01198}}</Ref> can also mean "brutishness, stupidity, brutish (person)''or even a ''[[foolish]]'' [[persons|person]]. <Br>But the use of בָּעַר‎ ba‘ar which we see translated "kindle" appears in the text of [[Exodus 35]] verse 3 as תְבַעֲר֣וּ ṯəḇa‘ărū one time in the Bible which is the letters '''Tav'''BeitAyinReish'''Vav'''. Then the idea or symbolism of [[fire]], [[strange fire]], [[burnt offering]] and the whole [[sophistry]] surrounding the [[Altars]] of [[clay and stone]].
|-
| Is this '''statement within the text of verse 3''' really about Moses making a rule about ''kindling a fire'' on the [[Sabbath]] in your dwelling? <Br>
Or starting a furnace or lighting a candles or just turning on a light switch as some more orthodox Jews believe. <Br>Are we being ''blinded'' to the true meaning of this verse by [[Sophistry]] of [[foolish]]?<Ref>[[Matthew 23]]:24  [Ye] blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.</Ref>
|-
| The term for '''dwelling''' can be מוֹשָׁב ''mowshab'' consisting of the letters MemShinVavBeit or even just משׁב‎ ''moshab'' MemShinBeit. The word משׁב‎ ''moshab''<Ref name="mowshab">{{04186}}</Ref> is translated as ''habitation'' 12 times and ''dwellings'' 8 times and even the word ''seat'' 7 times. That same word word משׁב‎ ''moshab'' can also mean just a ''place'', ''sitting'', and even just ''assembly''. ''Moshab'' is said to be from the primitive root יָשַׁב‎ ''yashab'' composed of the letters YodShinBeit<Ref name="yashab">{{03427}}}</Ref> that has been translated ''dwell'' 437 time and ''inhabitant'' 221 times, and but also ''sit'' 172 times, even just ''abide'' 70  times. The letters ''ShinBeit'' can be preceded by ''[[Mem]]'' or by a ''[[Yod]]'' which individually alters the meaning a little but both still included the idea where you ''abide'' or ''sit'', i.e. ''where you are come from''.
|-
| So, the phrase "throughout your habitations" suggests this prohibition "kindling a fire" is not just about inside your house but reaches farther into the whole community "throughout your habitations". <Br>The actual term that appears in the text as מֹשְׁבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם mōwōšəḇōṯêḵem which is MemShinBeit'''[[TavYodKafMem]]'''. '''[[TavYodKafMem]]''' appears as a suffix to a number of words which suggests a flow of a kingdom connected [[faith]]. We have seen this combination of letters in [[Exodus 12]] verse 17 added to the word for ''host'' and ''army''.
|-
|  This sudden prohibition of the idea of '''to "kindle a fire"''' seems to be as out of place as the prohibition in [[Exodus 23]]:19<Ref>Exodus 23:19  The first of the [[firstfruits]] of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.</Ref> concerning [[Milk and meat]] touching.
|-
| Remembering that:
* The Hebrew term translated ''kindle'' בָּעַר‎ ba‘ar<Ref name="baar">{{01197}}</Ref> also means "stupid as in brutish" as would accompany the use of [[force]].
*  The Hebrew term translated [[fire]] can represent the female personification of the welfare system of a society like the bride of Christ or the woman more precious than a ruby.<Ref>[[Proverbs 3]]:15  She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.</Ref>
* The [[Sabbath]] was not a day but [[the way]] of working first and avoiding debt to say nothing of [[covetous practices]].<Ref name="Isidolatry">{{Isidolatry}}</Ref>
* We should ask is the prohibition about ''not kindling a fire'' (לֹא־תְבַעֲר֣וּ אֵ֔שׁ) or was it about "not being ''stupid and brutish'' in all your dwellings or sitting down in [[the way]] of the [[Sabbath]]? 
* What do we need to learn about [[Leaven]], [[Breeches]] or about eating [[Milk and meat]] and about [[Strange fire]]?
