Well, Moses spent several periods of 30 days communing directly with God, and then spent 40 years teaching the Children of Israel what he had learned. This was all BEFORE he wrote Torah scrolls, which happened only in the last month of his life. If everything was in the scrolls, why all the wasted time?

...7. When the Torah [Ex. 16:29] says “Let no man leave his place on the seventh day” to what place is this referring? Does it mean his home, his property if he has more than one home, his neighborhood, his city, or something else?...
Maybe they were slow learners.
I see nothing has changed. I come for insight and all I get is “convert to Judaism” or be left out because the Jewish people are special and only they have the law & the Sabbath.
FYI..The Sabbath was anctified on day 7. Adam had instructions frm the beginning that were handed down to his children which were handed down to Noah then to Moses. Really, does one really think that Adam lived in the garden for 70 years and never got one instruction from YHVH except for what to eat & what not to eat? Does one really think Adam did not rest from his daily duties every Sabbath while in the garden?
The instructions & the covenants have been from the beginning, not from Mt Sinai where Judah was only 1 of 12 tribes.
Protectionism can be a evil thing as it keeps YHVH’s lost children from finding HIM.
the Torah is specific in telling us it pertains specifically to work, not worship & worship means getting together with brethren
what part of gathering at home or with friends on the Sabbath is most ediying to you?
