出埃及记 16:23 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 16:23-30

The institution of the Sabbath. That, in some sense, the Sabbath was instituted in Paradise seems to follow from Genesis 2:3 . It was at any rate then set apart by Divine counsel and decree. And it is quite possible that a revelation of its sanctity was made to Adam. The week of seven days may, however, have arisen simply out of the lunar month, the four weeks corresponding to the moon's four phases. In any case, as the early Egyptians had no such institution as a weekly sabbath, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 16:23

Tomorrow ... - Or, Tomorrow is a rest, a Sabbath holy to Yahweh: i. e. tomorrow must be a day of rest, observed strictly as a Sabbath, or festal rest, holy to Jehovah.Bake ... - These directions show that the manna thus given differed essentially from the natural product. Here and in Numbers 11:8 it is treated in a way which shows that it had the property of grain, could be ground in a mortar, baked and boiled. Ordinary manna is used as honey, it cannot be ground, and it melts when exposed to a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 16:23

Exodus 16:23. This is that which the Lord hath spoken Either to Moses, by inspiration, or to the former patriarchs, on a like occasion. It is agreeable to the former word and law of God concerning the sabbath. To-morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath Here is a plain intimation of the observing a seventh-day sabbath, not only before the giving of the law upon mount Sinai, but before the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, and therefore from the beginning. If the sabbath had now been... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:1-36

Complaints about food (16:1-36)The people soon forgot God’s goodness to them in giving them water, and complained against him again. This time their complaint was that they had no food (16:1-3). Once more God lovingly gave his people what they needed. From this time on till they entered Canaan, their regular food would be a flake-like substance that they had never seen before. They called the food manna (meaning ‘What is it?’), because they did not know what else to call it (4; see v. 15).God... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 16:21-30

THE APPEARANCE OF THE SABBATH"And they gathered it morning by morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one: and all the rulers came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all that remaineth over... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 16:23

Exodus 16:23. To-morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath— It is amazing to observe to what length an attachment to systems and opinions sometimes carries men. This is evident from the method in which this passage is interpreted by those who have entertained peculiar notions respecting the sabbath. Nothing can be plainer, from this whole chapter, than that the seventh day was now held sacred as a day of holy rest unto the Lord. In order to preserve it sacred, the Lord makes this remarkable... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Exodus 16:22-30

The Israelites had not observed the Sabbath or a day of rest until now (Exodus 16:23). This is probably one reason they did not immediately observe it faithfully as a special day. As slaves in Egypt they probably worked seven days a week. However, God was blessing them with a day of rest and preparing them for the giving of the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8-11). This is the first reference to the Sabbath as such in Scripture. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 16:1-36

Third Murmuring. Sending of the Manna1. Pursuing their march southward, the Israelites come at the end of the first month after their departure from Egypt to the wilderness of Sin, forming the SW. border of the peninsula: see on Exodus 15:22. All the stations in the march are not mentioned. In Numbers 33:10 allusion is made to an ’encampment by the Red Sea’ between Elim and the wilderness of Sin. It must be remembered also that, owing to the vast extent of the host, there must have been a... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 16:23

(23) To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord.—Heb., to morrow is a rest of a holy Sabbath to Jehovah. If the translation of the Authorised Version were correct, the previous institution of the Sabbath, and the knowledge, if not the observance, of it by the Israelites would be necessarily implied, since no otherwise would the double use of the article be intelligible. But in the Hebrew there is no article either here or in Exodus 16:25. The absence of the article indicates that... read more
