8515. 'Because Jehovah has given you the sabbath' means the joining together of goodness and truth by the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'the sabbath' as the joining together of goodness and truth, dealt with in 8495. The truth that it is brought about by the Lord is meant by the words 'Jehovah has given', for in the Word 'Jehovah' is the Lord.
