Ida Sang Hyang Widi Wasa Sane Maha Luur ngandika sapuniki: “Kurine ane bedangin ane ngungsi ka natare ane di jeroan ento patut tetep mubetan sajeroning nem dina nah ento dina masan anake pada magae, nanging didina Sabate muah didina Rerainan Bulan Barune, kurine ento patut kampakang.
What Does This Mean?
God tells Ezekiel that the east gate of the inner court should be closed on weekdays but opened on the Sabbath and the day of the new moon. This shows the importance of rest and new beginnings.
Explained for Children
Imagine you have a special door at home that's usually locked during the week, but you open it on Saturdays and when the moon is new. This is like a special treat, just like how God wants us to treat the Sabbath and new moon days.
Historical Background
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile around 593-571 BC. He was addressing the Israelites who were longing for the restoration of their temple and rituals, emphasizing the importance of keeping God's commandments.
Living It Out Today
In today's context, we can apply this to our work-life balance. Just as God instructs to keep the Sabbath and new moon days special, we should ensure we have time for rest, family, and spiritual activities, not just work.
