Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Leviticus 23:1

PART FOURON HOLY DAYS AND SEASONS(Leviticus 23-25)Here begins the fourth major division of Leviticus dealing principally with the various holy days and festivals observed by the children of Israel. This division comprises Leviticus 23-25, with Leviticus 24 being somewhat of a parenthesis.Significantly, these great festivals outlined here are still observed by the Jews all over the world, although with changes that have inevitably occurred. There was only one fast day, the Day of Atonement. In... 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

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-3

THE WEEKLY SABBATHLeviticus 23:1-3"And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My set feasts. Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto the Lord in all your dwellings."The first verse of this chapter announces the purpose of the section as not to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-44

THE SET FEASTS OF THE LORDLeviticus 23:1-44IT is ever an instinct of natural religion to observe certain set times for special public and united worship. As we should therefore anticipate, such observances are in this chapter enjoined as a part of the requirement of the law of holiness for Israel.It is of consequence to observe that the Revisers have corrected the error of the Authorised Version, which renders two perfectly distinct words alike as "feasts"; and have distinguished the one by the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Leviticus 23:1-44

THE SET TIMES OF THE LORD (vv. 1-43) The times of special observance in Israel are called “feasts” in most translations, yet all were not feasts for Israel, as per the day of atonement (vv. 26-32), which was a day of brokenness and humiliation rather than of feasting. Yet all may be called feasts of the Lord when we think of what pleasure the Lord would have in their proper observance. Sadly, these degenerated into mere “feasts of the Jews” in which there was no real honor given to God (John... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-44

FEASTS OF THE LORD There is nothing more affecting in all this legislation than the provision God makes for the physical happiness and the temporal welfare of His people. He wants them to rejoice if only they rejoice in Him (Philippians 4:4 ). This chapter sets this forth. Compare the Revised Version and observe that the word in Leviticus 23:2 is “set feasts” or “appointed seasons.” Why are they called set feasts of the Lord? Is it not because He appointed them, and because He would be... read more
