SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:23
Y él les dijo: Esto es lo que ha dicho el SEÑOR: Mañana es el santo sábado del reposo del SEÑOR; lo que hubiereis de cocer, cocedlo hoy , y lo que hubiereis de cocinar, cocinadlo; y todo lo que os sobrare, guardadlo para mañana.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:23
Verse 23. To-morrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath] There is nothing either in the text or context that seems to intimate that the Sabbath was now first given to the Israelites, as some have supposed: on the contrary, it is here spoken of as being perfectly well known, from its having been generally observed. The commandment, it is true, may be considered as being now renewed; because they might have supposed that in their unsettled state in the wilderness they might have been exempted from the observance of it. Thus we find, 1. That when God finished his creation, he instituted the Sabbath; 2. When he brought the people out of Egypt, he insisted on the strict observance of it; 3. When he gave the LAW, he made it a tenth part of the whole, such importance has this institution in the eyes of the Supreme Being! On the supposed change of the Sabbath from what we call Sunday to Saturday, effected on this occasion, See the note on "Deut. v. 15".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-31 - Here is mention of a seventh-day sabbath. It was known, not only befor the giving of the law upon mount Sinai, but before the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, even from the beginning, Ge 2:3. The setting apar one day in seven for holy work, and, in order to that, for holy rest was ever since God created man upon the earth, and is the most ancien of the Divine laws. Appointing them to rest on the seventh day, he too care that they should be no losers by it; and none ever will be loser by serving God. On that day they were to fetch in enough for two days and to make it ready. This directs us to contrive family affairs, s that they may hinder us as little as possible in the work of the sabbath. Works of necessity are to be done on that day; but it is desirable to have as little as may be to do, that we may appl ourselves the more closely to prepare for the life that is to come When they kept manna against a command, it stank; when they kept it be a command, it was sweet and good; every thing is sanctified by the wor of God and prayer. On the seventh day God did not send the manna therefore they must not expect it, nor go out to gather. This showe that it was produced by miracle.
