Exodus 35

Exodus 35:1-35

Exodus 35:1 Religion is the recognition of all our duties as if they were Divine commandments. — Kant. References.— XXXV. 21.— A. Maclaren, Expositions of Holy Scripture—Exodus, etc., p. 213. Exodus 35:31 Religion devotes the artist, hand and mind, to the service of the gods; superstition makes him the slave of ecclesiastical pride, and forbids his work altogether, in terror or disdain. — Ruskin, On the Old Road (I.). Exodus 35:34 The art which scorns all point of contact with morals, which denies all responsibility as a teacher, and knows no law but itself— nay, which evokes from the artist no real self-restraint, no recognition of the consecrating power of his gift, is a sterile art which has missed its purpose. — Morris Joseph, The Ideal in Judaism, p. 180.
