Rocks on the Sabbath

Definition: Rocks are not to be moved on the Sabbath day, for moving them makes them afraid.

The Rule

Among the rules concerning the Sabbath stands a single line: “let no rock be moved on the Sabbath day for it will make it afraid.” The reason given is the rock itself. The rule that follows is of the same kind: no one is to gather the fruits of the storehouse on the Sabbath, when that which gives suffers the grief of loss.

A Rock’s Spirit of Protection

“All the words for ‘rock’ indicate the spirit of life that they have is to protect you. See #4581, #5553, and #6697 in Hebrew in your Strong’s Concordance” (Handbook p. 42).

The Spirit of Life in Stone

There are four spirits of life in all things good and godly: the Spirit of the Father, the Spirit of His Son the Redeemer, the spirit of why God created you, and the spirit of life of whatever form that element has taken, whether a rock, a tree, or your fellows. Righteousness is when the spirit of life in you shares feelings with the spirit of life Jesus put into something in creation.

Stones in Their Place

The stones of the stream are in their place where Anokeesed has placed them, and the righteous are to be like them in their calling and vision, standing in the place where Anokeesed has placed them.

What the Rocks Know

Rocks know and remember, and they always remember Olam. Of all the Eerkodeshiy they are the most aware of what the Man that Anokeesed became means to mankind in creation. Motsah was born in a rock and resurrected out of a rock. When Messiah fasted near Kephsaba, the rocks loved Him dearly and did not want Him to leave, and through the coneys that lived among them, the rocks fed Him.

Creation and the Sabbath

Creation itself first entered into the Religion of Shabuwa. When Enoch introduced the calendar and the account of the seven-day creation, this gave rise to the concept of a Sabbath.
