利未記 23:3 CUNPTS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 23:3

The seventh day had been consecrated as the Sabbath of Yahweh, figuring His own rest; it was the acknowledged sign of the covenant between God and His people. See the Exodus 20:1-11 notes. As such it properly held its place at the head of the days of holy convocation. read more

Leviticus 23:3. The seventh day is first named as a holy convocation A day to be kept holy by every Israelite, in all places wheresoever they dwelt, as well as while they lived in the wilderness; and as a day of rest, in which they were to do no work A similar prohibition is declared Leviticus 23:28, concerning the day of expiation, excluding all works about earthly employments, whether of profit or of pleasure; but upon other feast-days he forbids only servile works, as Leviticus... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-3

23:1-27:34 SPECIAL OCCASIONSGod’s holy days (23:1-3)There were three main feasts, or festivals, of the Israelite religious year: Passover-Unleavened Bread and Pentecost-Harvest Firstfruits at the beginning of the year, and Tabernacles-Ingathering half way through the year. On these three occasions all the men of Israel were to assemble at the central place of worship (Exodus 23:14-17). People participated in these feasts with a mixture of solemnity and joy. They were humbled before God, yet... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Leviticus 23:3

Leviticus 23:3. The sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings— The Sabbath is first briefly mentioned, as being the first and chief of these solemn meetings; at all times and in all places religiously to be observed, in all their dwellings. REFLECTIONS.—The sabbath was a weekly feast, and still is such, to every true believer, who especially fears then on God's word and ordinances. A holy rest was to be observed. We must rest from sin as from labour. There was on it to be a holy convocation.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 23:3

3. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest—(See on :-). The Sabbath has the precedence given to it, and it was to be "a holy convocation," observed by families "in their dwellings"; where practicable, by the people repairing to the door of the tabernacle; at later periods, by meeting in the schools of the prophets, and in synagogues. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 23:1-3

1. The Sabbath 23:1-3The Sabbath (Leviticus 23:3) was, of course, a weekly observance in contrast to the other feasts that occurred only once a year. Moses introduced the annual holidays in Leviticus 23:4. God had prescribed Sabbath observance earlier (Exodus 20:8-11; Exodus 31:13-17; Exodus 35:2-3; Leviticus 19:3). Evidently Moses included it in this list because, like the feasts, it was a day set apart to God for holy purposes. The Sabbath was a "convocation" in that the people assembled in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Leviticus 23:1-44

C. Sanctification of the Sabbath and the feasts of Yahweh ch. 23God considered the Israelites (chs. 17-20), the priests, the holy gifts, and the sacrifices (chs. 21-22) as set apart to Him as holy. He regarded certain days and times of the year in the same way (ch. 23). This chapter contains a list of seven festal days and periods of the year when the Israelites were to celebrate holy meetings. These were normally convocations (Leviticus 23:2) when the Israelites assembled around the tabernacle... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Leviticus 23:3

(3) Six days shall work be done.—Recurring every week, and being the most important as well as the oldest of all festivals, the sabbath introduces the holy seasons. Hence, during the second Temple it was declared that “the sabbath is in importance equal to the whole law; he who profanes the sabbath openly is like him who transgresses the whole law.” The hour at which it began and ended was announced by three blasts of the trumpets.Ye shall do no work therein.—Better, ye shall do no manner of... read more
