Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-3

Here is, I. A general account of the holy times which God appointed (Lev. 23:2), and it is only his appointment that can make time holy; for he is the Lord of time, and as soon as ever he had set its wheels a-going it was he that sanctified and blessed one day above the rest, Gen. 2:3. Man may by his appointment make a good day (Est. 9:19), but it is God's prerogative to make a holy day; nor is any thing sanctified but by the stamp of his institution. As all inherent holiness comes from his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Leviticus 23:1

And the Lord spake unto Moses ,.... Much about the same time as before; and having delivered to him various laws concerning the holiness of the people of Israel, who were to serve him, and of the holiness of the priests, that were to minister in holy things to him, and of the purity and perfections of their sacrifices, he here appoints various times and seasons, for the more special worship and service of him: saying ; as follows. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-3

The offering of rest: the sabbath. cf. Genesis 2:2 , Genesis 2:3 ; Exodus 16:22 ; Exodus 20:8-11 ; Mark 2:23-28 ; Revelation 1:10 . In the sacrificial worship we come across what is essentially different as an offering from the sacrifice of an animal or of any palpable possession, and yet is a real sacrifice all the while—we mean that of time. The sabbath, as an offering of rest, has consequently a very high place among the Jews. As Ewald has remarked, it is the only... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-3

The sabbath. This is here classed amongst the "feasts of the Lord." The greater number of these were first observed after the settlement of the Israelites in Canaan; but the Passover was an exception, which was held at the time of the Exodus, forty years earlier. The sabbath also was an exception. We have to consider— I. THE OBLIGATION OF THE SABBATH . 1 . It is not altogether a Mosaic institution. 2 . It was incorporated in the Sinai code. 3 . The Levitical... read more

PART IV . HOLY DAYS AND SEASONS : WEEKLY , MONTHLY , ANNUAL , SEPTENNIAL , AND EVERY HALF - CENTURY . Every religion must have its round of holy days and seasons: 1 . To give occasion for manifesting joyous thankfulness to the Giver of all good things. 2 . To keep alive the memory of past events around which religious associations cling. 3 .

The Pulpit Commentary - Leviticus 23:1-44

The festivals. Leviticus 23:1-3 , the sabbath. The three features of it are: the convocation; the rest from all work; the sabbath of the Lord in their dwellings. I. THE PUBLIC WORSHIP of God is the main reason for the sabbath. "Holy convocation.'' Necessity that one day should be appointed. Importance of preserving that day of worship from distraction and disturbance. Influence of public worship on the general interests of religion, and therefore on the individual,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Leviticus 23:1

The specified times for public worship according to the Law were;(1) The daily morning and evening sacrifices, sometimes called “the continual burnt-offering.”(2) The weekly Sabbath.(3) the day of the new moon.(4) the “set feasts” Numbers 29:39 or appointed times of annual observance, of which there were five, the Passover, the Day of Pentecost, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. For each of these occasions special sacrifices were appointed Numbers 28:0;... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Leviticus 23:1-2

Leviticus 23:1-2. In this chapter Moses, by divine appointment, gives more particular directions about the observation of those solemnities which were before instituted. These, in our translation, are termed feasts; but the word מועדי , mognadee, here used, rather means solemn seasons, or meetings, and as the day of atonement was comprehended in them, which was not a feast, but a fast, they certainly are improperly termed feasts. The literal translation of the words is, ... read more

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
