SEV Biblia, Chapter 34:18
¶ La fiesta de los ázimos guardarás: siete días comerás pan sin levadura, según te he mandado, en el tiempo del mes de Abib; porque en el mes de Abib saliste de Egipto.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 18-27 - Once a week they must rest, even in ploughing time, and in harvest. All worldly business must give way to that holy rest; even harvest wor will prosper the better, for the religious observance of the sabbat day in harvest time. We must show that we prefer our communion with God, and our duty to him, before the business or the joy of harvest Thrice a year they must appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel Canaan was a desirable land, and the neighbouring nations were greedy yet God says, They shall not desire it. Let us check all sinful desire against God and his glory, in our hearts, and then trust him to chec all sinful desires in the hearts of others against us. The way of duty is the way of safety. Those who venture for him never lose by him Three feasts are here mentioned: 1. The Passover, in remembrance of the deliverance out of Egypt. 2. The feast of weeks, or the feast of Pentecost; added to it is the law of the first-fruits. 3. The feast of in-gathering, or the feast of Tabernacles. Moses is to write thes words, that the people might know them better. We can never be enoug thankful to God for the written word. God would make a covenant with Israel, in Moses as a mediator. Thus the covenant of grace is made with believers through Christ.
